I use to think Quaid was an OK actor, until we watched his poor effort in this movie. He was TERRIBLE. Did he lose his talent with a decline in cognitive abilities with age, or something else? Next to fault is the director, who made no effort to get the actors to perform better. Must have been thinking about the cost of film rolls - despite digital cameras - because we seriously doubt there was more than one take in most scenes. Add to the list are the crappy attempts at accents, by nearly all involved, that were a pathetic- at best. Possitives? Set designer. Lighting... Not much else.
Who finances such a dumpster fire? Can someone just keep them away from wrecking so many careers?

The last sceen is a perfect analogy to how this movie was directed: receiving a US Passport AND a US Visa. The director thinks you, his audience, are THAT stupid. Really.
Guy Ritchie ruined a perfectly good story, and the performance of two talented actors, with utterly stupid directing decisions throughout the movie... pretty much like any of his movies.
And, I suppose, we're equally stupid to allow ourselves to get roped into watching his movies... though, in defence, I wasn't paying attention to the credits (discredits, in this case).
The movie's entertaining story, descent production budget, and acting earn this review some stars. Whereas the directing, set locations, cinematography and CGI are rubbish.
Please, please(!), PLEASE stop allowing this director to direct movies!!! There are dozens - hundreds - of other directors whom respect their audiences.
