The Cold Light of Day (2012)

First, the fans of actors. each - far to have the decent script. the second , the fans of easy action movies. chaotic, unrealistic, using the presence of actors only as excuse. not the last , the fans of violence. in large frames, without any logic. and, maybe, the public looking for memories about real films and roles for each actor. because, except the title, so strange for a too modest film, nothing could be OK with this film.

Expected so much from the Bruce Willis / Sigourney Weaver camp but the movie failed to deliver. Henry Cavill was lead. Yet his co-star half-sister seemed to be more man at getting stuff done. Cavill just got beat up every other 10mins.Henry Cavill shows us why he wears the red underwear, just wish they make it more frilly and lace in his next sequel coz that's what he portrays throughout the film. I hate car chases when they seem inconsistent and poorly done and this movie didn't come close. Henry Cavill appeared to be a newbie behind the wheel of a BMW which seemed to weave at just about every corner while Sigourney Weaver in a Range Rover appeared calm as if the SUV was on rails. So much for German engineering. Maybe he should stick to flying.Overall not a memorable film. I could warn friends and family not to waste their time but why should I be the only one to endure the misery.

Fails on every level and whoever wrote the script kind of guessed or knew that well.The only way this film keeps you watching is some general kind of suspense about what anything means in it - what anything is for. Does it have any purpose? As it turns out - it all means nothing, or the unsaid, and it isn't possible to care in any event.A serious, serious, serious avoider. It doesn't even pretend to make any much sense by the end.This must be one of the worst films I have ever seen. The budget must have been huge also - Willis, Weaver, but it isn't even in the world of failed A-list films. I doubt it even makes it into failed D-list films, so the Hollywood A- list cast inclusions and budget for the Spanish locations just leaves you utterly bewildered.Why on earth? Who would do this?If this is on TV it will waste hours of your life if you watch. Whatever you do, don't exchange any money for this film, streaming or disc.

I'm thinking Bruce & Sigourney wanted an all-expenses-paid trip to Spain. Only way to explain their signing up for this crap show. Clichés, plot holes, bad acting, it's all in there. Weaver in particular hams it up. I give it 2 stars solely out of respect for the crew that worked hard on it and because there actually were a couple of interesting perspective shots, like one through the bullet hole in a car window. (No spoiler there, bullets fly throughout.) Also because (here's the semi-SPOILER) the one cliché it doesn't include is the romance between the hunky guy and the Latina helping him. Can I ask for my money back, even if I watched it at home?
