Not great

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2014)

I'll be honest - I didn't think much of this movie. I was expecting a light-hearted action flick full of special effects and cheesy one-liners that would be easy but enjoyable viewing. With an all-star cast, what could possibly go wrong?
The answer is that the all-star cast was probably the undoing of this movie. None of Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman looked at home - the movie was too small, too simple, the characters too basic to give them room to put on good performances. In the end, it comes across as though their hearts aren't in it.
Worst of all is the totally unbelievable love interest side-plot between Bruce Willis and Sarah Ross. Totally cringe-worthy and it didn't work.
And as for the special effects and cheesy one-liners? There's a few, but nothing to get excited about. Overall it's a disappointment.
