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.

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.

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.

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 :)

The Thai chick was hot. Bruce Willis can never do wrong in my opinion. Throw in a hot Thai chick. Who cares about the story. Thai chick was hot. Did I mention the Thai chick? She was hot. Was the film plot flat? Yes it was. Was the Thai chick hot? Absolutely. Was there any suspense? None whatsoever. But the Thai chick... she was outrageously hot. Would I watch it. Absolutely for the hot Thai chick. Apparently she is a goodwill embassador with the UN! That's really impressive. It's probably because she is so hot. I read she is 33. That's outstanding because that's kinda old. But she is so hot. In conclusion the movie was awful. The Thai chick was hot. But she can't act. She was painful to listen to but she's hot.
