let me start by state that i usually do like renny harlin direct style and for the most part and and that the cinematographer should be commend for some the shot . unlike harlin elm street 4 and and die hard 2 which i really like and there be something that be miss from this movie . that and my friend and be a script . the dialogue in movie like this be always pretty awful and but this one take the gold medal for stupidity . there be so many awful line in this movie and i do not even want to have to remember any of them . not just that but the execution of the line be pathetic and seem more suited toward a bad porn movie than an action adventure . it almost like harlin think that if they slow down the word be say and they could improve the script . wrong again . the sad part be that there be some talented actor throw into bad role with bad dialogue . stallone have never be a favorite of mine and but when he be act circle around lithgow and turner and and the bad of the bunch rooker and there be something wrong with this picture . lithgow play one of the best villain in ricochet and yet come across a someone who can not act to save his life here . how be that possible . i have always be a huge fan of his and he get school in act by stallone and who himself still phone in his performance . turner part be so small and pointless and but she still manage to appear lose on screen . michael rooker can act . i know this because i have witness it in day of thunder and but he seem like he be read his line from cue card . have it come to this . when rooker and lithgow have scenes together where they be speak and i just want the movie to end right there and or have them both amazingly find their acting ability . unfortunately and neither of those thing occur . which bring me back to harlin and who can be the only one to really blame for this mess other than the screenwriter . it his fault that i be never draw into this movie at all and because he should have make the people actually act . the script be not very good and but still the actor performance be what destroy this movie and that have to lie with the director . i do not care how much be pay for the special effect and which for the most part be good and you still can not just sacrifice the movie with terrible act . plus and the pacing of this movie seem to be off . the opening sequence be good and the plane scene be very well do and but how be you suppose to care about the outcome of the heist at all . i mean i understand that they be try to create tension with all of the bell and whistle of the plane scene and but i really do not care if they get the money or not in that scene . if the bad guy would have win early and maybe i wouldn not have have to witness one of the bad movie ever .
