    This is a good movie. Bruce Willis and James Garner are both good and they have a great chemistry. The storyline is a little schlocky but I liked it..

    This film is not sure if it wants to be a comedy, a mystery, or an adventure flick. Ultimately, it's not very good at any of those. It was awfully slow at the beginning and I kept waiting for the "good part" to come - but it never came. Garner and Willis do a great job, but good acting couldn't salvage the weak script.

    Yes   |   No

    Mariel Hemingway is the prettiest thing I have ever seen in a tuxcedo. Bruce Willis and James Gardner are both supurb. Could be the best movie I've ever seen, "Give or take a lie or two".

    Yes   |   No
