Paradise City

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.

I love Hawaii been many times, so love the scenery and all the places I've been and seen.... However........ I saw the trailer and saw the actors.... I thought... wow, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Stephen Dorff, this has be be a great movie. Was I wrong! This was one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. Love all the BIG name actors in this but the worst acting I've seen from these actors EVER! Great location and cinematic.. but the acting is horrible. Don't waste your time.

The story was good but could've been done (with better acting skills) much better.

I serious think, John Travolta and Bruce Willis did this movie to get a free trip To Hawaii.. lol. Seriously not worth the time.

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 :)

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.

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.
