Paradise City

Very poor acting from the main characters. Should have just concentrated Bruce Willis and John Travolta instead of the rest of the amateur cast. The plot is not believable, neither are the 'natives'. The rest of the cast are totally unconvincing. The words came out alright but their lack of connection with their facial expressions and body language is laughable. Bad guys, aside from Travolta, are about as menacing as NOT!! Just because you are carrying an automatic weapon and say a few F-words, does not make a convincing thug. There's no humour, no excitement and the plot is extremely predictable. Enough said of a non-event.

Not the worst thing I've seen, and beautiful scenery.

Start with the negatives, the plot isn't the greatest at all, stuff just sort of happens, and the acting from the supporting cast isn't exactly the greatest. Also, someone gets shot in the leg and ties a belt BELOW the wound yet survives?

On a positive note though, BRUCE WILLIS ACTUALLY ACTS in this film. The majority of his films in recent years have seen Willis just bumble through his spoon fed lines, but he actually acts and gets a fair amount of screen time. John Trovolta also puts in a decent performance.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful as well.

The film is average, but its to be expected with a modern day Bruce Willis film.

The Thai chick was hot. Bruce Willis can never do wrong in my opinion. Throw in a hot Thai chick. Who cares about the story. Thai chick was hot. Did I mention the Thai chick? She was hot. Was the film plot flat? Yes it was. Was the Thai chick hot? Absolutely. Was there any suspense? None whatsoever. But the Thai chick... she was outrageously hot. Would I watch it. Absolutely for the hot Thai chick. Apparently she is a goodwill embassador with the UN! That's really impressive. It's probably because she is so hot. I read she is 33. That's outstanding because that's kinda old. But she is so hot. In conclusion the movie was awful. The Thai chick was hot. But she can't act. She was painful to listen to but she's hot.

It feels like John Travolta & Bruce Willis vacationed in Hawaii and ran into Stephen Dorff and someone lost a bet... and this movie was made the following week before they all flew back home.

I seriously can't believe this movie was made with these stars. Sad.

There were scenes where it felt the actors (if they could be called that) were reading the lines for the first time. No suspense, no character development, poor timing...

Did the female "actress" just get lip fillers the day of shooting, maybe that's why the acting was so poor? I'm looking for reasonable explanations as to justify what prevented her from trying to act... It felt like she has no experience but paid her way to be on the set with some movie stars for fun... she wasn't even trying.

At least they had some fun in a beautiful location :)

Really a cheese ball of a movie Minus the Hawaiian scenery, cinematography and native/cultural inclusions it's absolute cheese.

Travolta, Dorff and Willis were pretty much true to form film stars, but less than stellar performance from anywhere else.

The plot is absolutely predictable and you've seen it a thousand times before. It has the feel of "throw this together quickly and enjoy our time on the islands". The action scenes were fairly unrealistic for the most part.

I almost just turned it off about 20 minutes in, but decided to weather through it.

That being said, I did enjoy all the Hawaiian aspects of it.
