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.

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.

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.

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.
