alfonico I noted 10 because: - I found the film entertaining and I never got boredThe film was unpretentious and often funny The acting was descent The scenery was nice There was just enough action I was extremely surprised by the awful reputation of this filmIf you don't want to see a film many times until eventually understanding the story, and are just looking for a simply enjoyable evening that will not imply complexities, this film is not a bad choice.

nzswanny Of course, this isn't your Oscar nominated movie of the year with amazing cinematography or anything like that. However, it does have fast paced action scenes and big name actors, plus cleavage if you want to get an erection! Sounds good? Then go watch this movie! If it doesn't sound good, don't go and watch this movie. You have to know what kind of movie you are going to watch before you watch The Cold Light Of Day. It's basically an ordinary action movie. If that doesn't explain whether you'll like the movie or not, continue reading and find out if you will!PLOT:I think this plot has been done numerous times by now, which is sort of a flaw. The plot's basically Henry Cavill's family being kidnapped in Spain, and he tries to find them while having some gun fights on the way. Just in case you don't know, this is a Henry Cavill and Signourey Weaver movie, NOT a Bruce Willis movie. *MINOR SPOILER* Bruce Willis gets killed near the start of the movie *MINOR SPOILER*, so it isn't exactly a Bruce Willis movie if you're a fan of him. However, if you are a fan of Signourey Weaver and Henry Cavill movies, go watch this! They make the plot seem a ton better than it is! I rate the plot 6.5/10!ACTING:The acting is brilliant! Probably because Henry Cavill and Signourey Weaver are the main characters in it. However, not one of the other actors, INCLUDING small part actors, were bad either! To be honest, this movie has superb acting, considering it is a mindless action movie, so the story is more believable. So, you can give acting a big tick on your list of whether you'll like The Cold Light Of Day or not! I rate the acting a 9/10!CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:In a mindless action movie? You're kidding! However, that was one thing that really annoyed me in this movie. The characters in the movie seemed like cardboard stand ups with no personality whatsoever. We never really got to see how the character's personalities were like, and it was very annoying, because I like character development in movies. You shouldn't be expecting character development in these sort of movies anyway, so you should figure out that it's quite bad. I rate the character development a 1/10!ACTION:Tons of it! Pretty much every twenty minutes, you'll see an action scene of some sort, and sometimes you'll see an action scene every five minutes! Like I said before, this has LOADS of action! I rate the action 9.9/10!Okay, if that didn't help you make up your decision, I don't know what will. But, I do hope you go and see this movie, expecting a predictable action movie, not an Oscar nominated masterpiece. I rate this movie a 6.7/10!

seeebalu One of the pointless movie with actors like Bruce Willis and Weaver made to look like jokers.Don't waste 90 min of your time watching this movie. This is the first time i reviewed a movie on IMDb. After watching the movie on a DVD I felt like 4.9 rating and some of the early reviews were so biased and generous which made a ridiculous far below average movie to sound like an average movie. No character development and the lack of plot made the action scenes laughable and pointless. I would give a zero rating if allowed to discourage this kind of pointless garbage on your face kind of movies with A-list actors.

badajoz-1 Now I know why the movie business is almost in terminal decline. Successful movies are comic book franchises desperately trying to get away with deep darkness mixed with CGI, while the unsuccessful like this merely copy anything that's passing by and feature endless product placement.T without a Spanishhe style is all Bourne. You know jump cutting for endless chases (both car and on foot), and then stop for breath while someone explains a laughable creaky plot with a sombre serious face. Oh, and, of course, the real villain is a rogue in the CIA. Bruce Willis takes a paycheck for 30 minutes' of non-effort to set the ball rolling, while his son, henry Cavill then tries to chase down who kidnapped the rest of his family. Apparently daddy did a naughty thing and took a briefcase from some very violent and angry people! OOoooh! The acting tries, but cannot fight a long struggle against a terrible script and St Vitus Dance directing.The plot holes mount up. The reveals you don't care about. Both Sigourney Weaver and Henry Cavill get up and walk away from upturned cars with the merest trickle of blood! Weaver shoots down several Spanish pedestrians in the street and has a ten minute mayhem of a car chase without a Spanish policeman or car in sight! Oh, and Colm Meaney flies in from his Majorca home for forty second cameo at the end.Sad, sad, but I think there is some Israeli involvement here because the propaganda about how wonderful Mossad is at fighting terrorism is stuck right in your face. It started out like an exotic British thriller from the late 50s/early 60s with someone like Laurence Harvey or Richard Todd and morphed into a car crash of a ... well, it just wasn't a movie really.
