cliché en masse

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2010)

This movie is a bunch of cliché's. That is why I ticked the spoiler alert. Now there has to be at least ten lines in a review, so I will develop on it. Divorced super-cop saves child-like teen daughter from evil Albanians in dark Europe whereto the daughter left supported by the pathetic mother and her pathetic new husband who is pathetically rich. Five more lines to go. Sigh. Cliché start, he gave up his CIA job to live closer to his daughter who lives in her new step-dad's semi-castle in California. Dad gives his daughter a cheap stereo, the step-dad gives her a big horse. The mother keeps the daughter away from dad. Evil and pathetic of course. Daughter goes to Paris and gets abducted by Albanians who pay off dirty Parisian police - ie they are in cahoot. Dad goes after Albanians and kill them all. Then kills the semi-head of police and an Arabian sheik and all his bodyguards. Dad takes the daughter home and introduces her to a rock-star so the daughter can also become a rock-start. End of movie. Danielle Steel probably inspired the script together with John Woo.
