Bruce Willis doesn’t usually star in a boring movie. And by all accounts, the previews certainly didn’t look boring. But last night, I ended up rather disappointed in another movie that “could have been.” Another Hollywood Blockbuster we all were looking forward to and it disappoints.
It wasn’t a complete loss, some of the “beauty is skin deep” moral of the storyline apply to us today, with our shallow, surface values, plastic surgery, weekly visits to the salon. Have we lost something…human? If this technology existed and was affordable as it was portrayed in the movie I believe we might fall into this trap.
Normally I’d say go see this one in the theater, and that it was at least entertaining, but I can’t recommend this one. Maybe a rental when there’s nothing else to watch.
Finally, the really sad story here may be that Bruce may not have much more box office draw after this one.
Quentin outdoes himself with this one…the opening scene is unforgettable, the climax is unforgettable…and everything in between…The tension building, the back story, the rewards are well worth the ticket price.
