Is This The Best Hollywood Can Do ?

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2013)

I was going to start this comment with a short plot summary but I won't bother because neither did anyone else on the production so I'll return the compliment . The plot itself is thinner than a plot summary from an IMDb contributor who insists on writing a comment that just makes the ten line rule on this site
The premise involves former black ops agent Bruce Willis getting together with a call service mature bimbo and going on the run and lots of bad guys trying to bump them off because he knows too much . Might I suggest that Willis is getting paid too much and that he's getting pursued by angry audience members who wasted their money on a cinema ticket ? Willis has appeared in so many drab action thrillers over the last few years that he's in danger of being outnumbered 7 billion to one
Needless to say Willis sleepwalks through the film while saving the maiden from the bad guys which is the same as nearly every film he's done . One wonders what the likes of Malkovich . Mirren and Freeman are doing in the film but I guess word " pay " and " cheque " might have appeared somewhere . No one seems to stretch themselves and the only ordeal involved is for the audience to sit through yet another generic tongue in cheek action comedy . Seriously is this the best Hollywood can do ?
