Story: Not all holi

days in Spain are a

bag full of fun. Sometimes it’s the very bag that leads to all that trouble.

Movie Review: When Bruce Willis stars in an action film, you know what lies ahead. Right? Wrong. Sadly, this action thriller leaves you asking for much, much more of the man in question.

Blame it on the script, the timing of those action cuts (basically an amalgamation of action movies like Die Hard, the Bourne series and other A-list Hollywood movies) and car chases with daredevil stunts, an evil female CIA chief… But the end of it all, Bruce is left with just 20 minutes of screen time in the initial few frames. Sad.

Of course, there’s is the Man of Steel Henry Cavill taking the story forward, till you come across Sigorne Weaver as the baddie.

But then making up for all that is the what-lies-in-the-suitcase tension. Will (Henry Cavill), an American trader, joins his family — Dad (Bruce Willis) and the rest of his family… on their yacht in Spain for the annual family holiday. Post a shopping spree along the shore, Will returns to find his family gone… to be executed within 24 hours if a missing briefcase is not delivered to their kidnappers.

Undoubtedly, the next thing he is seen doing is running to every nook and corner of the city to hunt down those who did it all… right from the intelligence agents to the men on the run.

And while he does that, you wonder what’s in that mysterious suitcase. Now, what’s in it? Don’t go with too many expectations… and you shall not complain between all that twists and turns in this conspiracy action thriller. (Agencies)
