Only someone who knows nature and cinema by nature can make such a film. If our measure for goodness or badness of a movie is cinema, this is a good film. The other things are details.

The girl was hot, that's all I got. Actually, the production values were good, great camera work BUT so boring. A paint by numbers and Willis is terrible. He looks bored. He reads his lines stone face. There are scenes (like the one with his son) where they aren't in the same frame the whole time, like they filmed the scene separately and put it together later. They leave it open to a sequel, please no. When 90210 stars are your leads with Bruce "any script" Willis, you know it is going to be a short ride to nowhere.

EDIT (30mar2022): It was reported today that Bruce Willis has retired from acting because he's been diagnosed with aphasia. His entire family helped him make this decision. I feel really bad about the awful review below - not knowing his personal struggles. Like many, I was a huge fan of Bruce Willis and felt betrayed by - what I thought - was low-quality effort in his work. I wanted him to continue to be great at his craft.

My comments were both a review and a lashing out. I feel like deleting the comment but it serves as an example of how we can sometimes react when all the information isn't available.

It also serves as a reminder to me about the greater picture. From what I've read, this is a language processing issue and doesn't effect his intelligence in any way. Enjoy your retirement, Bruce! You've had a great career.

----------------------------------------------- Whenever I see a Bruce Willis film now, I expect zero effort from the actor. A plot like this starts off average (given how often we've seen this in films) and it's up to everyone else to elevate it beyond its core concept.

Cardboard Willis does the opposite. He single-handedly drags an already weak script down to the gutter - sabotaging the work of everyone else involved. You have to make a real effort to be as bad as he's been. Even he was just reading the script, it might (maybe?) be passable. He seems to go out of his way to make his scenes as bad as they can be.

I actually feel bad for everyone involved in the production. Even if the script was bad to begin with, the rest of the crew showed up to do actual work. Even Shannen Doherty (who is dealing with serious health issues - let's be kind here) performed well with this weak script.

It's pretty obvious Willis just shows up for the paycheck while giving his remaining fans the big middle.

In 2013, Sylvester Stallone had this to say (in all caps) about Bruce Willis over the 'Expendables 3' (primer: Willis was offered $3 million for 4 days work but demanded $4 million. Willis was replaced with Harrison Ford):

"GREEDY AND LAZY . . . A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE"

update: 27dec2021: Odd that, as of today, 690 out of a total of 1,204 users (57.31%) have rated this a 10. A 10?! Is this an example of sleazy voting manipulation? Regardless, it's great example of IMDB's algorithm catching this attempt.
