En cavale

Astoundingly bad; wasting a decent premise, loads of talent, and a couple hours of my life. I call these "Jesus Jack" or "Damn it Nick" movies. Every horrible movie has had a scene where someone says "Jesus Jack!" Or "Damn it Nick!!" This was your typical heist movie, and tons of talent was recruited to churn it all into yet another "this guy double crosses this guy" movie. I feel bad that is was one of Paxton's last, and Steinfeld is getting more solid as she continues.

Then there's Vaughn. Wow. I was embarrassed for the guy from the second I saw him in the "Moe Howard" hairpiece. The shots of him fake running, head back, strained look, knees kicking high, sprinters hands, were truly cringeworthy. This movie was a true shizshow, 92 munutes so bad that i only barely made it thru the final 91 minutes hanging on by a thread so I could plead with Hollywood to end these farcical displays of lunacy.

My mom always said "Wear clean underwear in case you end up in the hospital and someone sees them!" If our planet was in a collision and the Cosmos surgeons only had this disjointed, underachieving past-prime waste of brain cells to judge our planet, well, I'm afraid of what would be thought of us!

At some point of action stars' life, they are bound to have adventure with their estranged daughters, just like Liam Neeson or Kevin Costner did. Those expecting a level of action production for action blockbuster might be disappointed, but the saving grace comes in unexpected engaging drama and an adequate crime thriller.

Nick (Vince Vaughn) is a planner for heist, he scouts the place, sets up escape routes, then sells the whole gig to another party. His recent buyer is caught up dead and now mobster and police are chasing Nick, who immediately grabs his daughter before making a run for it. This may seem like ordinary scheme, however it creates several chances, which unfortunately only a handful of them bear fruit.

The action is not great, one can see from the first brawl that the choreography is tedious. It's definitely not the caliber of high pace fisticuffs or intense shootout. In fact, any fighting seems a bit underwhelming and might even be detrimental to thriller aspect the movie is setting up for.

Surprisingly, the drama holds up nicely, especially the father-daughter bond between Vince Vaughn and Hailee Steinfeld. They have good chemistry and it shows a progression of their characters. Its mystery thriller works as well, while it's not complicated it is a decent crime story. Furthermore, there are some veteran actors here like Bill Paxton and Terrence Howard to name a few.

This star-studded movie is sadly lacking in action, although drama and cast do admirable job on giving it a lifeline.

You really don't think Vince Vaughn when you think of action movies, even though he's a big solid guy. What makes it work is the fact that the movie is really about a dad trying to bond with his astray daughter

Vaughn plays a crook who is framed by crooked cops for killing a real bad guy's son, and he has to protect his daughter from the really bad guy looking to do an eye for an eye type thing.

Vince Vaughn and Hailee Steinfeld are a great pair on the screen as two strangers who are learning to become father and daughter. Lots of chucks of the movie deal with that and it was quite good.

The movie is filled with lots of familiar faces in small roles, like Empire's, Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson, Bill Paxton and Mike Epps. Although it does not make the movie all that better.

Overall, despite the action crime drama elements, and his bad hair cut, it's a Vince Vaughn movie. If you like Vince you'll like the movie despite the fact that he's trying something different with the role.

I just found this movie to be filled with hackneyed dialogue and shop worn and often ridiculous plot elements. There's nothing here that we haven't seen so many times before in other films.

Vince Vaughn, who often delivers his lines here like an automaton, stars as Nick Barrow, who's a professional heist planner. However, his latest caper, that he planned and sold to the son of a Mexican cartel boss, has gone terribly wrong and he finds himself on the run from not only the cartel boss but a group of crooked Atlanta detectives.

Hailee Steinfeld co-stars as Nick's 16-year-old estranged daughter Cate, who, due to certain circumstances finds herself caught up in it all, and will have to go on the lam with her father. The remainder of the movie will have them either running from or confronting all those after them, while they, of course, do a little father-daughter bonding.

Overall, the film for me was just a rehash of tired plot elements, and the whole thing was an uninspiring watch.

This film tells the story of a man who makes a living by selling plans of heists. He is framed for murdering the son of a drug lord, and he has to prove his innocence while protecting his estranged daughter from harm.

Vince Vaughn in an thriller film is quite a new thing for me, and it works well. He is convincing as a man who knows the ins and outs of heists, and he looks serious enough to be a father who would do anything to protect his daughter. I also like how the father daughter relationship develop and evolve in the plot. The constant cat and mouse chase is thrilling as well, it certainly keeps me on edge very often. I enjoyed watching "Term Life", as it's a good thriller with convincing drama to make it believable and credible.
