It sucked, end of story

This film was horrible. Poor script, poor direction, poor acting, especially by Dan Akroyd, who aside from "Driving Miss Daisy" has never pulled of a decent non-comedic role. Keanu Reeves is an action fare attraction and needs to stick to that genre. The scene where the cops go for the "sick wife" ploy after being alerted to a possible murder was absolutely ridiculous. The only up side to this flick was that I have never seen Cameron Diaz look hotter. That was worth a look by itself I guess.

How odd. Someone else just said that Cameron Diaz looked "Lardy". I corrected him. Because I do agree, I loved the way she looked. I also liked her hair in the movie. Everyone called me crazy.

But I have to disagree with you about the movie. The script was alright(Could have been better). But the directing was superb.

And you have a hard time believing that the cops were fooled by Jjaks in this film, yet you think Keanue should stick to "Action" movies? What kind? Like "The Matrix" and "Speed"? This is definetly more believable than either of those.

War does not decide who is right, war decides who is left.

to me, the best part is...Keanu & Cameron having sex on the bathroom's floor & especially when Cameron told him to go a little left while they were doin...she seems cute when she said that.

"she seems cute when she said that"

Yeah, there she is in her dirt-smeared wedding dress, screwing some guy she met five minutes earlier, that's her husband's (of about fifteen minutes) brother, on the floor of a filthy bathroom.

How coquettish.

Sounds like Haurel and Lardy are at it again.

Nothing exists more beautifully than nothing.

"How odd. Someone else just said that Cameron Diaz looked "Lardy". I corrected him."

You're correction was apparently wrong. It may simply be that you need to see more women, however, and not always picture your fantasy girl as Venus. Trust me, if you have a double chin, you're "lardy." No, you're just plain fat.

you suck end of story, your probly the type that likes crappy movies like the grudge, and boogey man, you have no taste in movies

[–] ragreen259 17 years ago

lol... funny thing is, since Cameron Diaz looked like a fat, worn out whore (which was what she was supposed to be), worse than I've ever seen her, that pretty much sums up the intelligence behind the rest of your comment.

Strangest of all is, you started an IMDB account to make that one and only post. You must feel quite strongly about it.

I tried to like it, if only for Vincent D'Onofrio. He always elevates a script with his performances. But sorry, Vince. Not this time. I had no complaints with any of the actors and actually thought the three principals did a great job. But the writing was just bad. This movie was terrible. Stupid. Unbelievable. Unsympathetic. It was shooting for a Tarantino or Coen brothers kind of quirky, but it just SUCKED.

haha :D The only thing I remember from this film is how amazingly hot Diaz was in it.

[–] Mixalidis 14 years ago

I have to agree, it was really bad...

[–] coys77 13 years ago

There is a reason this writer/director didn't go on to do anything else.

This is one of those movies that feels like it was made by aliens with only a vague understanding of humans and how they behave.

[–] Zando777 9 years ago

Yes, it was horrible.

And while Cameron Diaz is never that hot, she was in no way fat here. No double chin, nothing.

[–] DracTarashV 9 years ago

Aykroyd was pretty bad, but the rest of the cast delivered above average performances (that includes Keanu). As for the rest of the movie, I'm not going to defend it but I will say I liked it better than most... for some reason.

Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
