Why so much hype?
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Admirable film.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Another B-movie thriller starring Bruce Willis, who seems to be making as many as is humanly possible in the last few years of his career. This one features Willis is only a few scenes, playing the big bad, while the wisecracking Mark-Paul Gosselaar is the petty crook and hero. It's a film with one of those plots involving various criminal factions ripping each other off, and for a set-piece highlight it includes an ambush on an armoured van which is surprisingly well-shot. The film as a whole is a mixed bag, featuring sub-par writing at times (the humour is unfunny, the characters and their plots cliched) but generally crisp photography and solid direction that makes this a bit more enjoyable then it has any right to be. Claire Forlani co-stars, but it's Daniel Bernhardt - who stared out in BLOODSPORT 2 all those years ago - who really shines as the charming second-in-command.
So this film starts off pretty good in the action and setup.. then starts to fail... I see Bruce Willis is cast as the films bad guy (yet again they use the A list Hollywood actor as the draw card and cast him as the bad guy with a couple of tie in scenes...) and has maybe 1 or 2 days of acting to do for this film. Previous low reviews have hit this on the mark. I really thought I had seen this film before. A tired out script/story.
Another poorly written heist movie with Bruce Willis as crime boss Eddie, Claire Forlani as Karen the thief, and the writer/director looking like a neophyte. The writer blatantly uses/rips off lines and scenes from other movies. A definite no-no if you are a writer with a degree who has studied his/her craft.The acting all around is disgraceful. Blame the green director. That being said, Script Pipeline, how and why did Max Adams' screenplay become a finalist in your 2010 competition? Something definitely smells rotten over at Script Pipeline.If the biased readers and judges at screenplay competitions and their producer sidekicks keep green lighting these horrendous flicks, the film industry will turn into an even bigger joke than it is now, and actors will go back to making 1950's wages. Wise up actors!!! Stop encouraging these poorly written screenplays to get made, and neophyte directors to direct you.
Boy, has Bruce Willis gone down hill. I would not think he could ever show his face after appearing in this disaster. This would rate as one of the worst films I have ever seen. B Grade? That is far too good for this load of junk. I do not think there was a single decent piece of acting in the whole film. It just went from bad to worse. Bruce used to star in some half decent action pieces but in this he showed us he has either lost the skill, or just does not get offered the good stuff any more. The others would have been fired from a school production. I can see why it only earned 86 quid in its opening weekend in the UK. That would have been the price of 4 or 5 people who would then have warned the nation to stay away.
