Viewing Notes

Never even heard of this movie until I saw it on the quick picks shelf at the library. Guessing another DTV from Weinstein Company which shouldn’t be surprising but with this cast? Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall, Vince Vaughn, Catherine Zeta-Jones, et al. To be fair this is not a very good movie. More like the type that shows up on late night cable or on repeat on HBO to fill time. But as a fan of Rebecca Hall this isn’t the worst thing even if Willis is phoning it in.
