An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but, in my opinion, Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones are both some tremendous actors and a movie starring both of them was a must see in my book. So, with this in mind, I ended up watching this flick but, unfortunately, I thought it was pretty disappointing. Basically, it was released the same year as ‘Speed’ which had many of the same elements and while ‘Speed’ was a box-office hit, this flick was pretty much a flop which wasn’t really surprising. I mean, it was actually watchable and both Bridges and Jones did their best with the material but, at the end of the day, it is and remains a rather unoriginal and forgettable action flick involving some terrorist. Instead of a bus and some amazing actions scenes, they gave us some shabby political message to add some credibility to the whole thing but it was not really convincing. I’m afraid. Furthermore, the way they connected the two main characters was also pretty lame and unnecessary. To conclude, honestly, it is not completely worthless but it still remain an average action flick and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
