So Contrived, So Uninteresting
24 September 2014
Once again we go to the old well: Dad who has not been there for child because of what he does/Child rejects him at first/he has a terminal illness/wife still loves him but can't accept what he does/still loves wife/and on and on and on. Throw in some really bad guys who have no redeeming qualities. Throw in a mysterious twenty-something knockout blond who is made of ice, orchestrating things for the CIA, and on and on and on. Also the terrible shooting by the bad guys. This is just a plain old, unbelievable (even in its own setting) malarkey. Costner reminded me of Greg House (Hugh Laurie) from the popular TV show. All disheveled and looking like he is going to drop any minute, which he does frequently (unless he can get a few shots of vodka). Here is Kevin Costner whom I think is a respected actor doing this kind of stuff. For me, it was a waste of time. I saw it as I was traveling on a plane from Istanbul and had trouble keeping awake.
