SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Don't Believe the Hype

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I have always been a fan of Brendan Fraser, who excels at playing gauche clunking heroes. The rest of the cast, though unknown to me turned in great performances. My congratulations to all involved.I am Irish and I appreciated the humour and dialogue in this movie. The plot kept me guessing to the end. Acting and direction were perfect. There are plenty of LOL moments for those with healthy humour glands.This film's quality revived my drooping spirit.I will keep this director on my watch list-I also enjoyed Hotel Rwanda.

Review: This movie was bloody terrible. I got completely tricked by the poster. I thought that it at least be funny, but it wasn't even that. Brendan Fraser's movies have gone really downhill and as for the rest of the cast, they were just as bad. It just turned out to be a hostage situation that goes wrong, but its no Dog Day Afternoon. To be honest, I wasn't expecting that much from a Brendan Fraser movie because most of his films are rubbish, but this was really bad. I'm not surprised that it went straight to DVD. Avoid!Round-Up: If you look at Brendan Fraser's previous movies, its surprising that he is still getting roles, and this movie will definitely be forgotten pretty quickly. Brought to you by the director who made movies like In The Name Of The Father & The Boxer, I'm surprised that this movie was so bad. I can't really remember what happened in the film because my brain switched off halfway through so don't bother to put this in your DVD list.I recommend this movie to people who like there movies about a hostage situation that goes wrong. 1/10

Most reviewers gave a high score to this film and with a good reason, this is a good comedy, but the score displayed is around 4, that is simply put, ridiculous.If you enjoyed good British comedies like walking ned divine, holly water and saving grace you will surely enjoy this one and Brendan fits very well in it as the American in ireland caught in the middle of good mess.Don't miss it because one person had a low opinion of this film, there are those who will find the eiffel tower, the grand canyon, the beatles and mozart to be horrible and worthless.

Brendan Fraser wasted his talents with this piece of junk movie. If it was meant to be funny, It's not. Whoever wrote the screenplay needs to go back to college to take a few more writing courses. Plain and simple. This movie sucks. Brendan's career has been with ups and downs with he is a very good actor. The movie companies haven't given him credit for his talents. But in this movie his talents were used in a very wasteful manner. He is better than that. Again, wasted talent in the part of Brendan Fraser. He needs to choose his roles better. I am glad this movie was on DVD and not on the theaters. It would have been a waste of money. Again, Brendan Fraser is a great actor but his role in this movie sucks.
