Synopsis makes it sound like a High Noon remake so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it isn't. Very entertaining. 1 year 9 months ago -

Sheesh, what a letdown, especially given its reputation. In more capable hands (and recast with a leading lady who can, you know, act), this would've been a solid modern crime/noir. All the ingredients are there. As it is, Paxton is fine and the police aspect of the story still works, mostly, but any scene involving the criminals...yikes. Cynda Williams almost literally sleepwalks through her role (seriously, was she on horse tranquilizers?), and her and BBT's characters are two of the most intensely stupid and unlikable I've seen in quite awhile (which begs the question - why the hell would Pluto, who is stated to have an IQ of 150 - want anything to do with these bums?). I didn't buy any of it. There was a lot more than one false move made here, as far as I'm concerned. 6 months 2 weeks ago
