Lie Hard

I started watching the movie because the plot seemed to be interesting but then after 15 min. I started to skip forward and kept skipping forward till the end. I can't believe someone read the script and thought it was a good idea to make a movie out of it. The storyline was so predictable and boring that it hurt my brain. The acting was horrible and the movie is a complete waste of resources. The casting department must have had casted the wrong people for that movie on purpose but on the other hand, even Hollywood Stars could not have made this script a 3 Star rated movie in my opinion. I give 2 Stars because i've seen worse movies lately but i don't recommend watching this to anybody. Better watch a good movie a second time or read a book if you watched every movie ever made already.

We could see what they were trying to do here, because the scenes were all pretty much cliché, but it just didn't work. The script was pretty bad to begin with and the lead is an overactor, but the worst part of this movie is the editing; the timing is way off on parts that might have worked if not for the painfully long inappropriate pauses. Not recommended.

Started off promising. But got really daft after about 15 minutes.

It's a shame really, because it could of been so much better.

The cast were a bit of a mixed bag, but maybe it works.

Biggest problem for me was the lead actor didn't have 'lead actor' presence...and almost everyone else in the movie outshone him.

"Lie Hard" takes a promising premise, a guy getting into trouble with "the mob" while trying to impress his girlfriend and her family, and totally blows it on about 90 minutes of nothing. After the setup, where "Rob" borrows $4M to buy a mansion to convince his girlfriend he's something special, the film goes off the rails. A strange neighbor tells Rob there is big money stored somewhere in the mansion he bought. This could have taken the film (and audience) in an interesting direction. But, the whole thing nosedives into a mess. The writer and director simply didn't know what to do from there and seemed to just wing it. A film that could have been so much better turns into an attempt by the filmmakers to just fill the time up on screen. Jokes fall flat, weak stereotypical characters are introduced and proceed to flounder on screen, the money hidden in the house angle goes nowhere and everything has a flat feel. Unless you're really desperate, there probably isn't a good reason to watch this film.

The story felt like something I could get into. Rob/Matt was likeable enough but by the bar scene when he confronts his neighbor, I just wanted to turn it off. I know they tried, they REALLY tried! But this movie was pretty bad, not even the jokes were funny. Easy story to follow with 2 interesting characters but that was it! If I could unsee a movie it would be this one.
