Sigourney Weaver, Bruce Willis, and Henry Cavill in The Cold Light of Day (2012)

Review by dagallop

The Cold Light of Day

7/10

Why so many haters?

I don't understand the level of (apparent) hatred for this movie?!

Yes, it was a very (very) typical action thriller type movie but surely we know what we are getting in to when we watch movies like this?!

It is simple entertainment, linear story, good acting, almost believable plot and constantly moving. What more do we expect from this genre. It wasn't that long ago that we were awe struck by a movie with some passengers on a bus that couldn't drop below fifty miles per hour or it would blow up, yet we complain about the story line in this movie. And we should not forget that with actors like Cavill, Weaver and Willis shouldn't we review their abilities to act as brilliantly as they do? I guess some folks were just disappointed that Cavill never once ripped his shirt off to reveal a super hero below..

Synopsis: Not the best, far from the worst, great entertainment if you aren't expecting a movie with a myriad of plot twists. This has great actors and pretty much non-stop action with some great scenery to boot. Worthy of a fill in between the super hero movies.
