Paradise City

Any 80-90 Miami vice or even Acapulco heat episode has better acting. Cant understand why such pros like Willis and Travolta did not give any advice for director or writer. Maybe they are more tired than Nicolas Cage.

Hawaii nature ahots did not save those bad dialogues, that dond fit no cinema, no theater stage - too flat. No right emotion. Bachground music fits more of robin hood or dragon and dungeon scenery, but not Hawaii.

Every second scene is out of logic. If you have drug lord in custody and stand before 20 of his goons aiming at you. You dont drop him, but use him as a live shield. BAD.

First of all its total waste of talented and reputed casting.

The movie lacks all the basics it takes to make a good film. The plot, writing and direction all were lacking to make it a movie worth watching. There's no suspense to keep the audiences on their seats till the last.

Talking about story it seems good to me but with some improvements it would have been wonderful. Same goes for the writing, the ending seemed so blunt, like it was just a cold good bye.

While Bruce Willis and John Travolta give justice to their roles while some of the cast were not up to the mark.

To sum it up it's average which lacks the potential.

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.

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 :)

NO suspense. NO thrill. The action is laughably amateurish.

NOT a Bruce Willis movie, because (as usual) he is only starring in it for 15 minutes tops.

NOT a John Travolta movie either, because he isnt the leading actor either.

Stephen Dorff DOES have a bigger role and he is still as cool as in his younger days, but he is surrounded by LOTS of terrible supporting actors, who take up way too much screentime. Bummer.

The bad: LOTS of silly dialogue and LOTS of silly storylines. The direction is cheap and uninspired. With such great acting talents, more could have come of it. But it didnt...

Not any good then? It's always nice to see these 3 old powerhouse actors, but it only reminds me that they used to star in much better movies in the eighties and nineties...

NOT recommended. 100% FLOP.
