the dialogues are cringe (un)worthy and 90% just stupid.
Willis and Travolta probably took the largest part of the budget, so all other participants in the movie were either taken off of the streets with the lowest possible costs. I am guessing salaries were 0, and cost limited to just food, lodging and expenses. Even the background music sounds like its taken from the first random elevator in some random hotel. Brilliant how a cop says "good that you didnt kill anyone yet, but dont let it cost your head" or something like that. Really?
Ugh.
Only thing positive is seeing Travolta again as the bad guy. He still has his charisma.

Do not watch this because Travolta & Willis are in it, because they are barely in this movie.
The rest of the movie is just your average crime, action, thriller. More like a TV movie than a movie made for the theater.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

Bad:
Dialog
Acting
Casting
Continuity errors and other goofs - wasn't even trying to find any and there were a few obvious ones.
[spoiler]Why was she a cop for only the first 25% of the story, then it wasn't really addressed after that.
Why did Buck need a son? Didn't really add anything to the story aside from a few minor dialog scenes.[/spoiler]

Good:
The scenery.
[spoiler]They hooked up at the end.[/spoiler]


These once superstar actors are definitely at the end of their prime. Great career, Bruce - enjoy your retirement!

{EDIT]
Forgot to mention how unrealistic the mobile phone recovery scene was - that was complete fiction! There's no way they would recover anything from that phone.

Do you remember those 80s/90s Made-for-TV movies based on some random detective novel starring that supporting actor from that popular movie five years ago who is now just looking for enough work to keep their insurance benefits active? Yeah, this felt like that. And wtf with the blooper reels? Felt more awkward rather than fun, behind-the-scenes antics...

As Willis' swan song, however, I promised myself that I'd watch the entire film no matter what. And I did.

Bruce (cause I know you'll read this) if sitting through this entire mess of a movie doesn't prove my admiration and respect for your amazing career, then nothing will.

Thanks for the memories, Bruce. You were one of the best.

Is it me or I just feel sorry for Bruce Willis and John Travolta.
They used to be good actors but they are old now. They should retire and stop making those shitty movies.
Just avoid this movie at all don't look at the poster.

Against my better judgement I watched this. In the past 5-10 years I've avoided anything and everything with Bruce Willis (and Nick Cage) in them. John Travolta is in this, so maybe it might be a bit better than anything Bruce has done in the last 25 years perhaps? NOPE. It starts really crappy and goes downhill from there.

Bad acting, bad writing, really bad dialogue.

Packed it in at 13 minutes -couldn't take it any longer. wife asked why I gave it that much time before switching it off!
