pabobfin The movie is awful. Four word review. Now to expand. It follows a CIA shoot-em up Thriller-wannabe format. There is the McGuffin, which if you find out what it is they have to kill you, and the hostage of the family, the surprise sister with a different mother, and endless chase scenes make me wonder how the Spanish authorities were bribed to let this happen in their beautiful country. Endless product placements starting with Coke, BMW, Range Rover, and the clothing line, forgotten already. Lots of nice cars died for naught.Bruce Willis is killed off with no reprieve. The cliché would be to have had him live...but no they went straight to the death. He certainly didn't Die Hard, Harder, or Die Again in this one. He just DIED.There is a poor explanation of just WTF happened, and after finished watching I still couldn't figure out who the players were. Mossad, CIA, Bad CIA, Rogue Agent, Hero Agent, and lots of Uzi's and Semi- automatic guns with endless bullet magazines. Lots of shooting, did I mention LOTS of SHOOTING? Also lots of gratuitous deaths, Sigourney is looking OK for 65, but she's no Dame Judy Dench in this acting fiasco. She's jumped the shark on thrillers I fear. She seemed like the ALIEN in this film.The Spanish police are made to look like total idiots, and cars driving recklessly through Madrid never once attracted the attention of the POLICIA, not once. Zero is not allowed, so it earned a 1/10I'm sorry I wasted the time.

mmunier Someone gave us a great tip regarding this movie and stated that we'd be very thankful if we followed it. The tip was "Don't go to watch this movie at the theater, hire the DVD" ... I've got one better, just don't bother at all! I finished to watch it on TV and still wonder why I did watch it to the end. My only explanation has to be my naivety, I could not believe it would not improve till it was all over. I won't repeat what other have already said about it yet I agree 100% with the majority of them, save the stars they gave it. For me, if I was a star giver, I would have needed negative numbers as I felt zero was too much. I actually can't see any Bourne association with this piece of excrement, but used it since many reviews I read here seems to feel there was some "plagiarism" if I'm excused for using the term. It was just bad... I cringe when I see good actors advertising products; although I have enjoyed G Clooney in coffee adds along with other well crafted commercials that use well known actors, nonetheless I feel it's an immoral practice, especially when the product does not live up to its presentation. In the case of this movie this is exactly what we get great actors' names to attract our attention, then vacuum! And this is another side of this film that many did resent, a vehicle for merchandise advertisement. In that regard I'm quite immune and grateful for it but it did not help me to find anything good about "boring obscurity of day" So do remember to skip it all together. Don't thank me for it, but don't blame me for not making the warning strong enough. (did you notice? I ticked the spoiler box!

adonis98-743-186503 After his family is kidnapped during their sailing trip in Spain, a young Wall Street trader is confronted by the people responsible: intelligence agents looking to recover a mysterious briefcase. The Cold Light of Day stars Henry Cavill, Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis and well it's a film about a family that gets kidnapped and one of the sons who was left behind is trying to save them and his father helps him unfortunately the father played by Willis was there only for his paycheck and he dies like 20 minutes into the movie although i was surprised by how big Sigourney Weaver's role was. There's a lot of action, stunts and some tension here and there sure it has flaws it goes over the top a lot of times and it's even confusing at times thanks to Bruce Willis character who has made a big mess of the plot himself even after his death. But still i liked this movie it's not perfect or even amazing but i had fun with it and it was pretty cool to see Superman in an action movie shooting people and that's why i'll give it an 8 out of 10.

Guy THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY starts out well and then gets worse. A Wall Street banker with business problems - not exactly sympathetic - goes on holiday in Spain with his family. Before you know it, they've been kidnapped and his dad - Bruce Willis in cash-the-check mode - is telling him that he used to be a CIA spy. This also marks the moment where all early promise is lost: the lovely seaside Mediterranean locations are left behind for the duller parts of Madrid, the built- up family drama is lost as all the characters bar one end up imprisoned for the rest of the film, and it all becomes a tired retreat of the Bourne style man-on- the-run film with everyone pursuing a mysterious McGuffin briefcase. The plot is of course implausible - although it is hilarious to see Roschdy Zem as a Mossad officer - and Henry Cavill makes for a buff but dull lead. Even the introduction of a pretty Spanish girl is wasted with a pointless plot revelation, leaving her as mere baggage. Everyone runs around shooting, brawling, chasing and doing sub- parkour but none of it means anything in the end.
