Splash! Will’s blackberry was thrown in the waters. He must swim through the shore from their yacht and buy himself a new one. He swims back and then, less manly, feels dumbfounded as he discovers his family has been abducted.
Who likes Bruce Willis back in the day; let me see your hands? We sure build a big number and yes, that includes me and my father. My favorite Willis action hero-film is Sin City. Who liked ‘The Immortals’? I partially did. And though we don’t make up an evenly big number as to how many liked Willis, Henry Cavill is easily shining and left with a premise. In ‘The Cold Light of Day’, they envelope the two mentioned brusque and made a movie.
A lonely and endless experience of pure boredom, ‘Cold Light’ has made its most clever decision: to run the movie in such short time duration. It distributes less pain to audience, good move.
Young Wall Street trader Will Shaw (Henry Cavill) flies to Spain to have a weeklong time vacation with his family. But what he has encountered is remotely different than what we came for. After a sensible swim in the waters, because his Blackberry is soaked and he ought to have a new one, he is alarmed to learn that his family is abducted. No trails. Not a trail even from his father, Martin (Bruce Willis).
Determined to understand the situation and more importantly take back his family, Will remains in Spain. He improvises for unexpected events after his faimly’s abductors confront him. They are in search for a briefcase which apparently Martin took when he was in service for CIA. With only hours to retrieve, Will tries to keep up with time and save his family from further danger outside their abduction.
Interminably boring and awfully clichéd, ‘The Cold Light of Day’ seemed to enjoy making Henry Cavill look like less immortal and more human who’s weak and sensitive. Perhaps, this human version of Cavill didn’t exactly appear efficient. He is well-toned and well-muscled as though a sculpture chiseled to an artist’s perfection. And like a sculpture, Henry is an eye-candy and brusque looking however he is stone cold when he acts. He delivers his line in such an off manner which worries me as a viewer (as we all know, he’s our future Superman in ‘Man of Steel’, a DC feature which may be the only better card they could play after ‘The Dark Knight’).
Even Bruce Willis worries me. I worry for him. He used to be our bow-down-our-heads badass action hero and now we’re facing Willis’ dark phase. I can’t even put words for this Willis down fall. Sigourney Weaver (from the Alien movies) is notably playing the same roles over and over again; she seemed to enjoy characters with much discomfort towards the government. I’m worried for her career too, although she sparkles among her co-stars.
The least entertaining part of the movie is Cavill’s frequent running and the most entertaining is, the photography of the beautiful Europe. Halt and bow-down for the most fluent trash-talker: ME.
