Grenier and Cusack seem to be doing their best to hold up the increasingly thin plot, but Cage steals the show in the worst way possible by taking his tendency to over-act to new heights, which is only exemplified by the character’s gaudy makeup and wardrobe. While Entourage’s Adrian Grenier stars as the young man who desperately wants to get his brother back, John Cusack plays the do-rag wearing detective and Nicholas Cage sports an even more embarrassing piece of headwear to play the mobster Eddie King. Released earlier this year, this action-thriller follows JP Lindel, who seeks help from a street-wise detective after his brother is kidnapped by a ruthless crime lord. if you want to see either of these actors in a worthwhile action flick.
Therefore, you’d be better off re-watching Die Hard or checking out the lesser-known Man From U.N.C.L.E. Overall, The Cold Light of Day feels like a poor attempt to recreate the urgency of the Bourne series, and, as one critic puts it, the film is an “unnecessary but inoffensive espionage thriller that you have to assume was an inch away from going straight to DVD.” The film follows Will (Cavill), a young business man who learns that his father (Willis) is a CIA agent after their family is taken hostage while vacationing in Spain. His first inclusion comes with 2012’s The Cold Light of Day, where Willis stars alongside Henry Cavill the year before the British actor would make his big screen debut as Superman. Not to mention that almost all the film’s action sequence leave these two female leads looking like totally incompetent nitwits.īruce Willis may have starred in one of the best action movies of all time, but that hasn’t stopped the actor from popping up in some of the worst reviewed movies of the past decade, earning Willis a spot in not one, not two, but three entries on this list. Unfortunately, these two talented actresses are let down by a weak script that hammers the audience with the same unfunny jokes over and over again, which often revolve around the characters having accents that neither of them can understand.
ROTTEN TOMATOES POINT BREAK 2015 MOVIE
Though both actresses have become known for playing slightly annoying, yet always entertaining, characters in the past, the two move much closer to the mark of irritating rather than endearing the longer this movie goes on.Īfter accumulating a total of 147 “Rotten” reviews, the Critics Consensus for this film reads: “Shrill and unfunny, Hot Pursuit bungles what should have been an easy opportunity to showcase Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara’s likable odd-couple chemistry.” Released in 2015, this action-comedy stars Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara and follows a by-the-book cop who is tasked with protecting the widow of a drug boss as they travel across Texas. Watching these two films back-to-back truly proves that the premise of an action movie can indeed be ridiculous, so long as the characters feel grounded in reality and they aren’t just there to serve as pawns in an intense action sequence. While Kathryn Bigelow's film from the '90s is an exploration of masculinity which allows the viewer to get into the heads of both Swayze’s and Reeves’s characters, the two leads in the updated version are exceedingly flat and humorless. But all the spectacle doesn’t distract from the fact that the film sucks all the fun and character development out of the original story. With a much bigger budget, Point Break features its fair share of extreme stunts and impressive action sequences. Both films follow undercover cop Johnny Utah, who infiltrates a group of adrenaline junkies after Utah suspects them of carrying out a string of robberies. This 2015 film isn’t just a terrible action movie, but it’s also a totally unnecessary remake of the 1991 cult classic starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.
