Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Michael Ledo In Long Beach, there is a turf war going on. Firefighter Jeremy Coleman (Josh Duhamel) is a witness to a murder and has been placed in the witness protection program where he falls in love with a US Marshall (Rosario Dawson). Bruce Willis plays local police chief Mike Cella who would like very much to see crime boss David Hagan (Vincent D'Onofrio) go to jail.While in the program, the bad guys find out where Jeremy is located and threaten to kill everyone Jeremy knows and their family. Jeremy goes vigilante in order to save himself and everyone else. He also gives us overwhelming clues about the ending.I liked the climax of the film, in spite of the fact I knew it was coming from 30 minutes into the film. The script was overly predictable and the dialouge wasn't moving. Vinnie Jones gives us a brief bad guy, and likewise 50 Cent wasn't on screen that long. I would have liked to have seen more of Willis in the film.Might work as a 99 cent rental for some people. Not a keeper.Parental Guide: F-bombs, implied sex scene, no nudity. Torture. Bullet holes in the head.

kennethraine Like a film made with two directors, the good one goes for a coffee the less capable one takes over. You have a mix of electric brutal well staged violence mixed with slow poorly put together, comically inappropriate scenes. The start in the store is poorly staged, and you think, who would do it this way, except a geek volunteering for 99yrs on death row. The villain Hagan, played by the totally unconvincing Vincent D'onofrio [ one of the worst actors in the film, to be kind maybe he was miscast] had no impact. Another scene with Josh and Rosario as sitting targets to a snipers telescopic rifle, sees them dancing about like sitting ducks at 250yds while she returns fire with a pistol, suicide jockey doesn't come near. Bruce pro-cameo where's the pay check Willis was totally unnecessary, his scene in the warehouse where he fronts Hagan does blah blah then exits kicking the s--t out of a gunzle on the way, he saunters out with his back to about six gorillas armed to the teeth, who do nothing unrealistic? cool? pointless? you choose its in there. The torture at the table brilliant and brutal, but reluctant heroes throwing up, no especially firemen, they go through everything, just a whispered "Its not like me" would have elicited an audience smirk. The best scene? The utterly brilliant interaction between Josh and Richard Schift under the sprinkler, acting direction, meaning, dialogue, worthy of the absolute best. The finish was also very good. The inconsistencies were irritating, the good bits surprisingly good. Well worth a watch you'll say "if only" but overall you should enjoy it.

adele-roets75 I believe never to let facts ruin a good story, but if you are trying to sell horsesh*t as roses, at least have the decency to polish those turds to a high sheen. Everybody looks ashamed to be associated with this bomb and they only completed the project to claim their paychecks. So what does this stinker consist of? It starts with a fire where the fireman gets rewarded with a box of very expensive booze (as if anybody would hand it out after their home or place of business burned down), our hero & friends end their shift & decide to drink the booze, our hero gets trapped in a convenience store where the very predictable evil white guy kills the very predictable victims from a minority group, our hero escapes and only gets shot in the arm, he identifies the villain, decides to testify against him and enters witness protection. Hero decides to take the fight to villain, get seven shades of sh*t beaten out of him every few minutes (without any side effects). Hero kills villain. Pop in some cheesy lines, bad acting and profanity for the sake of profanity and you get the whole movie on a cheese platter, albeit a moldy cheese platter. Watch at your own peril. Rather read a book, any book, the plot and suspense of Little Red Hiding Hood is better. The 1 star is for Bruce Willis, just because my mom worships the man.

stratfranks this is what happens when 36 producers (count em!) hire a stunt man to direct for the first time from an incredibly poorly-written script.IMDb lists the budget at $27M, but if that's correct, the producers have stolen millions of dollars from their investors, because the money sure didn't go on-screen - there's hardly any action or stunts, apart from Bruce Willis - who's only in it for 5 min - there are no stars, the director is a first-timer, and the script was clearly written by a rank amateur. Bruce Willis might have been paid $5M for 1-2 days of work, as his character never leaves the single location he was filmed in.There are actually 36 producers listed in the credits - maybe that's where the money went?
