He still has it!

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2010)

Its been 22 years since Die Hard launched Bruce Willis' career. He has had a roller coaster of ups and downs since then. I consider his movie Cop Out, which came out earlier this year, as a major down! Here he is back on top in this very exciting and enjoyable thriller. He plays a burnt out former CIA agent who is so bored with retirement that he conducts a long distance phone romance with a government secretary (Mary Louise Parker in a delightful, show stealing performance). I really felt bad for Bruce's character. He was the best the CIA had and yet his character just yearned for love and a simpler life. John Malkovich should get a "ham of the year award" for his performance as Willis' crazed CIA buddy. I love the part when he blows that woman away after she calls him "old man". The always great Morgan Freeman is also on hand and brings his usual dignity and class to his role, my only complaint is that he didn't have enough screen time. I also enjoyed Helen Mirran's performance as well. She is best known for Shakespeare and classic roles. I assume that she had a ball making this film. She is hilarious.
