Negative Positive
Title: Just...bad
Review: I was excited to watch a new Bruce Willis / Forest Whitaker movie...until I popped this in and realized it's not really a Willis/Whitaker movie. It's a Malin Akerman movie MARKETED as a Willis/Whitaker movie.And even that would be fine if this movie was any good. But it's not. Weak dialogue, bland characters, and a throwaway storyline that's trying to be all tough-guy/Tarantino-ish in the same way 5th-grade schoolboys try to be tough when they're bullying the 1st-graders. Bullets fly artfully, people cuss poorly, the camera slow-mos at properly "dramatic" moments.... <yawn>I've seen Akerman in a couple other movies, most notably "Watchman," and I'm sure she was excited for the chance to take a leading role in a beat-'em-up action flick, but this thing is just a boring mess. Don't bother.
Is the review positive or negative?
