chantaldmorgan Terrible movie...can't believe these great actors would have entertained such a trrrible script. I want the time & money I wasted on this terrible film back.

blrnani With Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones constantly trying to upstage each other, it's worth watching just for that bit of fun. And then there's the fact that it was Glenn Headly's last film - it's a decent tribute to her (though she'd probably prefer something closer to her triumphant "Dirty Rotten Rascals" role). The other thing I liked is that it shows that the elderly still want to lead interesting active lives, even in the shadow of fear that their bodies and/or minds will inevitably let them down at some point. That may not appeal to most audiences, but it's reality folks - we oldies aren't just the doddery old farts you can see now; we are the combination of all the people we've been over the course of our lives and the lessons we've learned from that. On the downside, this film was clearly rushed out for the Christmas market, though it's a sunbelt Christmas that is meant to reassure the people in that region while perhaps stimulating some pangs of jealousy among those in colder climes. Fresh snow is lovely to look at, but there are consequences. PS: The Wikipedia article on this film is full of factual errors that should be corrected.

westsideschl Nothing against Jones or Freeman (his voiceover on a variety of science docs are good), and I've seen most of what they've done. So, the only way this film is made is if the aforementioned are short on cash. Dialogue is middle school level; action/drama (thankfully not much of it, and the rest was mostly run time with talking heads) has been done before and much much better. Typical good guy/bad buy team up to best the adversary, and who cared. The rest of the screen time was a lot of geriatric oldies checking out slightly younger geriatric females w/tired old lines.

david_w_gibson Was this a great film, no, but it was totally enjoyable to watch as I knew it had to be considering the cast. Not just Jones & Freeman, but Jane Seymour, George Wallace, Joe Pantoliano, & Glenne Headly in her final film. Sure it's a play on a plot that's been done before with a few twists, but with different players always different. If you want an hour & half of entertainment and aren't predisposed to think old folks are has beens, check it out.
