Painful to watch
24 August 2005
I've seen every movie Harrison Ford has done. I consider him to be in my top 5 of best male contemporary actors. I found this movie however to be so unwatchable, I literally couldn't finish watching it!!! The writing, the dialog, the acting!!!! How could this be? OK, all actors are entitled to a bad film once in a while.

Like many have said the movie comes across as not being sure what genre it is or isn't. The worst part for me was watching Harrison Ford during chase scenes. It looked to me as though his arthritis was acting up. It was so distracting and I was embarrassed for him. I have seen plenty of aging actors take on physical roles that of course they're not as fast or as agile as their younger counterparts, but they didn't move with such rigidity and pain that it became a distraction in itself. YIKES! I understand that his character did real estate on the side. He looked more like an aging real estate agent who was forced into doing something physical that he's not accustomed to doing, like a cop chasing suspects.

Josh Hartnett was also forgettable in this disaster and looked completely bored most of the time. I can't comment on the entire picture, just the part I watched, and that.......was enough.
