Guys please correct me if I am wrong, but who or what did you like in this movie?

Old and slow man with extra botox, you all know who I mean

or

Kiefer Sutherland who desparately trying to use his decent reputation from 24 series

or

Eva Longoria who really can act anything other than a desperate housewife

Or

this extremely and smart (?) director that cannot put several pieces into one simple movie.

If you have only two hours to waste, I even would say dont watch this movie. Even old episodes"Everybody

loves Raymond" are more exciting and fun to watch.

Totally agree. Bad bad Movie. Story and plot twists were awful.
And Eva and Kiefer should just stay with their series. They totally didnt fit in this movie. I didnt quite get Eva's role. She didnt add anything good to the movie except her good look...

As far as Eva is concerned,this is a good career role for her as far as her film career is concerned.

We all expected rubbish from this movie. And rubbish is what we got!
You know what was really sad though. The fact that the corny lines were dropped in every scene. E.g
"I heard you wanted me as a PI, why?"
"Because i heard you were the best we have in the field"
I mean come on. You have a 20+ Million budget and they drop this s hit. Dude not cool!

Well Eva showed us that she can play something other than like a spoiled girl Desperate Housewife

"You go girl. And don't come back."

REALISM?!!

Ok so when they charge the assassins with the president of the united states to protect, that is realism?

When a secret service agent is shouting out a warning over his radio while at the same time not bothering protecting himself from a lone gunman, that is realism?

When a tactical team rushes the mall whith no clue whatever to what is awaiting them, not setting up a perimeter before going in, that is realism?

When they use a lie-detector test on people whose previous careers most likely have involved resistence towards torture-training, that is realism?

When a secret service agent doesn't wear a bulletproof west while on the job, that is realism?

When the president's helicopter is flying at treetop altitude, that's realism?

I could GO on.....but I'm not gonna bother. I've made my point.

Crappy movie!!!
