Bruce Willis has really let himself go...

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2006)

Here I was thinking a cast with so many acclaimed stars must make for a great film, but in truth, this was one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen (and coming from a man who has seen the likes of Dreamcatcher and Fear of the Dark, that is saying a lot). I was scrolling down the top-rated movies on this site and was appalled to see this up there in slot #63. There it was among such classics as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and The Shining. Quentin Tarantino is losing his reputation with the Kill Bills and Hostel, and Bruce Willis is letting himself enter a career-threatening spiral of mediocre films with Hostage and 16 Blocks. And this after working his way up to the rank he did with such films as Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, and The Sixth Sense. The only real attraction to this piece of work is Jessica Alba's pretty figure. Needless to say, when Sin City 2 is released, there will be one less viewer.
Terrible: 2/10.
