“This was a mishmash of a movie. Wooden acting. Unrealistic. Bad plotting. Starts with a woman typing frantically on computer during a download. Why? Then people get blown up and killed for no apparent reason. Then the movie begins with a contrived situation about bullying so some kid can go on a ride along because itu0026#39;s in the script. After that, you have the tried and tired daughter and estranged father conflict. I like Nicolas cage. I think heu0026#39;s made some great movies — i.e. Face/Off and Family Man — but nothing worthwhile in at least 10 years. And worst of all, the acting was like planks of wood interacting. I could smell the ham from my computer. Someone obviously owed someone else a big favor otherwise this movie would never have been green lit.”
