Not sure how this ever left the camera and went to the editing, best guess is that it didn't. Terrible acting, terrible videography, nothing makes this movie worth while. I'd venture to say that the budget stopped at the top two names and location, but even then, the acting was so bad that I can't imagine it was just the writing. There is no story, no good acting, no emotion. The movie felt like a joke in the beginning because of the acting, but we soon realized that it's just the way the movie is. Nothing improved and it just got harder and harder to watch. I've seen some bad acting, and this takes the cake.

The worst thing about this film has to be the dialogue, there is not even one piece of dialogue that didn't make me cringe hard, it feels like a school movie project. It's a really really poorly written film, all the characters are extremely unlikable and the acting is bad and it feels wooden and souless, the performances feel forced and as a viewer you don't experience any feelings or emotions by watching it, it feels empty, like a void. What was the budget for this movie? 100 dollars? It feels like it. On IMDB it says that the budget was 20 million dollars. What??? You could produce a better film with 1.000 dollars. The only performance that I found to be somewhat decent was that of Stephen Dorff, sad they didn't give him more screen time. I found Travolta's acting to be mediocre and flat. The worst characters have to be Ryan and Savannah, their acting is atrocious, you can almost feel pain by watching them interact. There is no suspense, no excitement in this film, no build up, its boring, dull. The film gives you the impression that it took 1 week to shoot the entire thing, it feels rushed, incomplete. Also I don't like the whole theme of ''Mr. Bad White Guy vs Hawaii'', im tired of these kinds of themes in movies lately. I feel kinda bad for judging this movie after I learned about Willis' health but im just trying to be honest about the product. Based on what I read on Willis' condition he did a pretty good job in this movie even though he doesn't do much. Also I noticed certain things that seemed really dumb to me like finding a smartphone with a metal detector, getting the truth out of someone through some weird drug related ritual and Travolta's character whole plastic surgery thing. Also seeing Ryan Swan trying to do what is supposed to be ''detective work'' was laughable. After the reveal of ''Paradise City'' I though of renaming it to ''Cringe City'' it was a badly written idea, kinda happy they attacked it haha. Buck throwing a party after burning down Paradise City, who does that? For an action movie there isnt much action and for a thriller there is nothing thrilling about it. This doesn't feel like an action movie or a thriller, it feels like a letdown. The only thing I enjoyed about this movie were certain scenes where you can see beautiful nature landscapes. I consider myself a hero for watching the entire thing. I'll be kind though and I'll give this movie a 2/10. Please do not waste your time on this.

The location of Paradise City was breathtaking, I think that I'd like to visit there one day. Another movie pumped out, with Bruce Willis among the top billing. Like most of the recent Bruce Releases, the quality is rubbish and the acting is wooden, and the overall vibe is frustrating. Enough of Bruce. Upon seeing that John Travolta and Stephen Dorff were also starring, I thought that this movie couldn't fail. Well, sadly, I was wrong. John Travolta, I'm guessing, acted to what the director wanted, which was crap. A couple of times he came out of character and I could see that JT was still there. Was the acting dumbed down to be on par with Bruce? Who knows. Dorff? I really don't have much to say that would praise his work, he looked frustrated. Amber Abara was a pleasure to watch. This has been one of Bruce's best performances recently, but it's still below average. The movie could have been so much better, the mark was missed, but still managed to get above average. Would I recommend this, yes.

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... This is a 100% FLOP with lots of great actors starring in it, who cant save this movie from going down under unfortunately. 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.

If you think you're in for a good movie with some legendary actors... well then don't watch it. It's bad I mean really really bad. I kept watching it because it was funny it was so bad. But not "cult" classic funny. It looks like a cheesy cheap tv citcom. Can't believe I had to watch travolta and Bruce Willis and Stephen Dwarf humiliate themselves by sinking to this level of bad. The whole movie is hilarious the tribe folk all have terrible Botox and lip injections and can't even take the screen without looking ridiculous and confused "duck faces" with no expression. How are you going to be convincing in a movie if your face DOESN'T MOVE?!? Just stop already. The fight scenes and gun training are soooo bad it's like I said "funny" If you're gonna play a cop or RAMBO maybe just maybe you should learn how to at least hold a gun. Anyway I could go on forever. Watch it if you can make it past first 10min.

I was going along with everything until the end. How did Bruce have a bulletproof vest on and then when he gets shot at, he's no longer wearing it? I mean, nobody who is still in pursuit is going to remove a vest until they know the gunfight is over. Other than that, beautiful scenery and a decent supporting cast to go along with it. Stephen was his usual self. It's kinda sad to see that Bruce and John have been relegated to roles and movies on this level. I remember a time when they were a true box office draw and could set a whole movie off on their own. Now it just seems like they are holding on until they aren't asked to be in a movie anymore.
