Review: Andy Tennants movies have been hit and miss. He directed Anna and the King and Hitch, but also Fools Gold and this. He should have a better hand at choosing his scripts by now cause this one is a mess.
Its a hybrid of romantic comedy and action movie. It fails in both categories. The characters are one dimensional and under developed. If it weren for Butlers natural charm I wouldve ended up hating his character, a drunken gambler who got thrown out of the police force. The action is cliché for the small amount of time it graces us with its presence, and most of the humor falls flat, maybe because youve already seen/heard the jokes before, from other, better movies.
For all their likability, both Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston seem to be on auto pilot. Gerard is his own charming persona and Aniston is, well, Rachel from Friends, though they exhibit some chemistry. Neither will benefit from starring in this movie. Side note: Christine Baranski is wasted in a role far beneath her talent.
Thats not to say this is a bad movie. It has some fun moments, though familiar, and it will not seem a total waste of time. On the other hand it isn a particularly good movie and you will forget about it as soon as it is over.
