The Cold Light of Day 2012

Will Shaw (Henry Cavill) is a young businessman who has pulled himself away from work to take a vacation in Spain with his dad (Bruce Willis), his mom (Caroline Goodall), his brother (Rafi Gavron), and his brother's girlfriend (Emma Hamilton). Will and his dad, a government bureaucrat, don’t agree on anything and fight a lot. But when the rest of the family gets kidnapped, they have to work together to save them. It turns out his dad really isn’t a government bureaucrat but rather a CIA agent. He turns to an old friend from the CIA, Jean Carrack (Sigourney Weaver); he tells her about a briefcase he took from a group of angry people who kidnapped his family, so he needs it back to save them.

Now before you go thinking "Oh wow that sounds amazing, a spy movie with Bruce Willis and the new Superman guy" Well it's not. First of all, Bruce Willis is only in about 10 minutes of the movie, he's got a couple of lines, a small fight scene and that’s all you see of him. At least he's in the movie more than the rest of the family; they're there in the beginning and the end for about 5 minutes. The whole movie is pretty much Will trying to get the briefcase back from Jean and him failing miserably. 

I am so sick and tired of movies showing me bad guys having such terrible aim. There is one scene in the movie where the bad girl has an Uzi and is firing at a distance of 3 feet and missing every single shot, and she's supposed to be in the CIA. This crap really pisses me off some times.

Henry Cavill isn’t really an action star, but it’s not really his fault. His character is drawn very weak and is often erratic, getting angry at the Spanish for not speaking English and just generally being a douche. And then there’s the fact that the everyday civilians in the movie become expert marksmen and skilled getaway drivers, yea, this movie is special.

Henry Cavill doesn't make much of an impression as an action star, though it's hard to say how much of that is his fault. His character is poorly drawn and often jerky, getting angry at the Spaniards for not speaking English and just generally being a pill. Granted, he has a lot on his mind, what with his family being abducted and people trying to kill him. But the everyday civilians in movies who become expert marksmen and skilled getaway drivers usually become charming, too. Why keep all the other cliches and omit that one?

So, in the end, you shouldn't really watch this movie if you're a Bruce Willis fan because he's only there in the beginning, the action is alright, but again, the enemies aim is complete garbage.

Here is the trailer:

This movie is on netflix.
