Takeshi-K This movie is far better than the rating it has on this site, although I think I know why. As far as light entertainment goes, its silly and fun. Owen and Freeman are both great, Sarah Foster is gorgeous and Charlie Sheen puts in a good turn as an inept part time thief. Its fun right up until, the non existent ending. The movie just ends suddenly not really explaining anything or tying up any loose ends. The dialog and music builds up to imply a twist ending, but it comes to nothing as the film abruptly ends. Maybe they ran out of money? The movie is set in and was shot in Hawaii so maybe the crew thought they'd prematurely hit some wrap party hash pipe and go sleep it off down at the beach. The movie is pretty good up until then though.
Chrysanthepop Considering the cast and the fact that it was an Elmore Leonard adaptation, I wanted to see this flick. However, it was disappointing. The film (though very small) moved at an extremely lethargic pace with hardly anything happening (except in the last 5 minutes or something). I haven't read Leonard's book so I can't comment on how fair it was to the script. There isn't much of a story as pretty much nothing happens in more than half the movie. The non-compelling ending is very badly written and we are left to figure out the plot holes. Why just the ending, the whole film is boring. The dialogues are, now I don't use this word often but, lame. A few funny moments include the breaking in the cops house, the fight between Sheen and Wilson while the girl watches.Sadly, the cast has been wasted. Wilson and Foster have no chemistry. Being a talented actor, Wilson deserves a better movie. Poor Morgan Freeman hardly has anything to do except utter a few wise (not really) words. Sheen and Sinise have insignificant roles. Newarth springs a surprise but is hardly there. Foster is alright.On the flip side, the cinematography gives us a wonderful tour through exotic Hawaii. It makes me want to go there and at times, I thought maybe the director and cast just happened to be there on holiday and decided to make a film. The soundtracks quite okay too. Thankfully it's a short film too so one not need to suffer too much. Even to fans of the cast and Leonard, this will be a disappointment.
Martin (ThatsGoodInnit) You can totally give this movie a miss, and would not of missed anything exciting, for even the most solid Morgan Freeman or Owen Wilson fans, There's absolutely nothing going on in this film. The humours boring, and Dull, the stuff thats suppose to make you laugh just makes the film more un-enjoyable! Completely Un-funny, and Completely boring! Vinnie Jones even gets BAT-tered by Owen Wilson! if thats not enough to go by, and put u off, i don't know what is! but on a bright note, It's always great to see Morgan Freeman, he has no need to do dull projects like this. As we all know Owen Wilson has his own unique style of humour, thats the main reason why we like him, i find him extremely funny normally but even understanding that, this still sucked! you were hoping a giant shark would jump out of the sea and eat the set, least that would've been amusing. But the best part of the film is, watching Sara Foster's sexy body! she's really fit, and not a bad actress either!Only buy this, if it's being given away!And watch the last 10 minutes, no need for the other 75mins.
kooleshwar I expected nothing from this movie and even though i got nothing somehow i never really got bored in this movie.The more i think i about it the more surprised i am, i mean this movie may have 2 or maybe 3 laughable scenes and maybe another 5 or 10 smiling scenes, and even then i never really got bored. The only reason i can think of for this happening is that I really really liked Sara Foster ( I know its shallow reason to give this movie a 5 but its true i felt i could keep looking at her and if i don't get bored in a movie its unfair if i give it a lesser rating.The only part i really liked about this movie is the ending and i mean the absolute ending.All in all a time pass movie that you can watch if you like Sara (ive never seen her before) or have nothing better to do. p.s Please do not watch it with female company they'll eat your brains.
