I wanted to but couldn't!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Remaking classic films is admirable. It is a great way to introduce a new generation to the classic stories of our culture, when it's done correctly. Suddenly is a remake of the 1954 Frank Sinatra film by the same name, starring Ray Liotta as Tod Shaw. Shaw is an aging, alcoholic cop in a small town, who is at the end of his career. One day, rather suddenly, the President makes a surprise stop in the town where he works. As they make the final preparations for the visit, Shaw comes to realize that a local family has been taken hostage, and the President is in danger. In remaking a film like this, producers should only consider going one of two ways. Either make it a true remake, set in 1954, or adapt the story to fit the times, Uwe Boll did neither. This remake is very much the same story, but takes place in 2013. This is problematic, as it makes the story somewhat unbelievable. There are better ways of doing things, modern technology, many different things the story could have and should have changed, but it didn't. As for Ray Liotta, he's probably the last person I would cast to reprise Frank Sinatra. When Sinatra made this film, he was 39 years old, Liotta is 58 years old, and he more than acts his age. Are we really supposed to believe that at nearly 60 years old, Liotta can even attempt to take on a beast like Dominic Purcell? The whole thing was just way off target, but I am giving it 2 1/2 stars, because of Purcell. This guy just gets better with every performance, weather it's the lovably naive escaped con or the scary cold assassin, Purcell is always believable and fun to watch. Suddenly was never that great of a story to begin with, but for some reason Uwe Boll had a connection to it, and decided to remake it, but the way it is done makes it almost comical and anything but a fitting tribute to the work of Frank Sinatra.

"Suddenly", after more than 90 minutes watching this atrocity, I realized that it is probably one of the worst movie productions ever....You wait for hours (feel like months) for something to happen and even when it happens it is so awfully fake that it makes you want to cry.Can you believe that a whole team spent weeks/months on this?A few other questions remain: How does this so called director get money to produce such a disaster? What did Ray Liotta smoke when he agreed to be part of this.... ?How come a good service like Netflix selects such crap for their viewers?Will there be a sequel? Cause if there is one, you may use it as psychological weapon to torture any healthy brain around the world.

What a fail. Haha I laughed during the movie. The kid was a crappy actor "no no no u gotta believe us" hahaha. What a crybaby horrible actor. Stay in school kid and become a welder :). His mom? Lmfao what a horrible job acting. The crying way so unbelievable and the dialect was sleepy time tea. I am glad this didn't make it to the screen. I stayed up til 3am watching it on Netflix. Thank god I didn't pay $1.10 at red box for this. Ray liotta must have taken this script to pay bills and fill in when he had no work. Just Awful acting. I laughed when the old dude died hahahahahaha. . Gave it a 2 only because I watched it all the way through. When the old dude died they played this cheesy scream 2 music in the background and some chodey snare drum and cymbal marching band crap at other times. So stupid and fake! I am going to watch the original black and white version on YouTube and see a real movie. I wasted 2 hours of sleep for this crap.

"Suddenly". It is sad that an idea for a movie can be taken and destroyed as the worst piece of cinema ever. Whoever put this mess together must to have had some money to throw away. I thought I had seen some bad movies before, but this one is the worst of the worst. If you must watch it to believe it, then you will understand how terrible it is. You will believe your "lying eyes". Ray Liotta must be desperate for money because he is going from bad to worst. Not only was the acting terrible, but the music score will make you physically sick. It has been a long time since I have seen anything as awful as this. It makes a viewer appreciate a good movie when one is seen. This director should be arrested for this direction. Awful, just awful!
