Great cast, good story idea, little flat. With the cast this movie had so much potential just never got on a consistent roll. I say B

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2011)

After an attack at home Frank Moses (Willis) recruits his old CIA buddies for help in revenge. Using all the tricks he knows Moses hunts down the person responsible for the attack while trying to avoid a tenacious CIA agent trying to stop him. This is another movie that falls into a common trap. Assemble an All-Star cast, realize everyone will watch for cast, slack off on rest. To me it feels like the bigger the stars put together the bigger the disappointment. I'm not saying this is a bad movie, it's just very average. With the cast assembled (and the Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture) I was expecting hilarious. It had funny parts, but a little flat in some areas. It sounds like I'm bashing it but it was a good movie. I was just expecting more. You will definitely have a good time watching, just don't get your hopes too high. The best part of the movie hands down is John Malkovich, watch for him if nothing else. I give it a B.
