(2012) The Cold Light Of Day.
ACTION THRILLER.
This is the much poorer version of much better action movies such as the Jason Bourne movies, and Taken. The first thing I want to say is that the title has nothing to do with the movie in general- at least as far as I know. Henry Cavill as Will is the star of this vehicle and he agrees to go on a sailing trip with his dad Martin (Bruce Willis), his mom (Caroline Goodall) and his younger brother and his girlfriend to Spain, Madrid. As a result of will paying too much attention to his phone, his dad gets angry throws it into the water, Will then swims back to shore to get a new phone, but upon coming back finds that his entire family had been gone. And as it turned out, his dad used to work for the CIA and some group are holding them for ransom for a briefcase Will's dad used to steal from one of his missions. And some of the Spanish police are bad guys as well- for viewers are not given any indication about how some are corrupt. Sigourney Weaver is the villain and an unconvincing one at that. the action scenes are so and so since viewers would be baffled about his knowledge. It's quite bad with nothing original as it's full of chase sequences and more babbling.
2 out of 4 stars.
