Painful to watch. There wasn’t a single character that I liked or that I had any empathy for. If we were meant to feel empathy for Cage’s character, then the director and Cage failed miserably. The last 10 minutes of the movie were completely disjointed from the rest of the movie, like a completely different writer was given a 1 page synopsis of the rest of the film and told to write an ending.

Warning: Plot Giveaway. More plot holes than any movie I have ever seen. Missiles have self destruct codes. Russia could have blown them up? Why didn’t they? Why was a Russian sub supporting the terrorists? Why didn’t the U.S. tell Russia to self destruct the missiles and move their sub? A plane with anti-submarine weapons could have been there in minutes to take out a sub so close to the surface. The terrorists smuggled guns and sulfuric acid onboard. Why not c4? Oh yeah, it would have been a 5 minute movie with the bad guys winning. At one point a character, “Beaver”, say to the leader, “I told you we should kill her first.” Yet he is the one who shot her in her body armor instead of the head. Nonsense. A Bugs Bunny cartoon is more realistic than this farce.

If you decide to watch this for comedic value, notice Willis is only in one scene with another actor the entire movie. The rest of the time you see the other actors at a different camera angle with what is supposed to be Willis’ shoulder or the back of his head. Even the climax cut back and forth between the 2 actors without ever showing them together in the same frame. Wills was filmed walking through the woods alone and 95% of his lines were spoken to an empty forest and were cut in with the other actors lines later. I doubt Willis put in more than a day for his paycheck. Absolutely, in the top 5 worst movies with not even campy value.
