Three Things I Liked About The Cold Light of Day

#1  The setting - Since I can speak rudimentary Spanish, I enjoy movies that are set in a Spanish-speaking country.  Since we arrived a bit late for the movie, I did not know that the setting was in Spain. I only learned about it when the clerk in the store said 'De nada' after Henry Cavill said 'Gracias'

#2 Henry Cavill - He had several shirtless scenes here and he looks hot! Yum yum!

#3 Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver - it was great to see two 80s icons in this movie!  They had pivotal roles so they weren't just part of the scenery

Otherwise, this movie was just lightweight fare and did not leave me in a state of suspense for any minute.

Movie Review: 'Abduction' Just Another Joyride

This was one of the few movies this year which I think looked promising in the trailer but when I  watched the whole thing, I left the theater wondering what all those chasing and punching and kicking was all about.  I mean, what was the point of all those James Bond-ish capers and villains and throwing men off the train thing?

Anyhow, the first hour was the most interesting part of the movie since that was when you discover something about Taylor Lautner's character and how he grapples with the sudden turn of events.  The several action scenes that follow should satisfy the boys from middle school who love these things.  Otherwise, everything just screeches to a halt in the end, and when you see the whole picture - you kinda say a big, HUH?

Well, your female date may want to watch this because Taylor is naked, as usual, in some scenes - and you because you may not want to be bored by some romantic movie.  But there's nothing here that you haven't seen Jason Statham do better, so if you want to save money, just get the DVD from your friendly DVD stall in Divine or Poquia.
