Advantages: Suspenseful, compelling Disadvantages: Some bad performances
Robert Wagner. An incredibly young Robert Wagner, who looks nothing like his older, heavy-set self. This isn't a completely perfect performance by any means; there are times when his words sound wooden and it is a miracle that Dory doesn't work out that he is a major creep. However, he does have a certain amount of charm and he is very good to look at, so he just about manages to get away with it. By the last half of the film when his true colours are shown, it is fairly easy to believe that he is a lying, cheating, selfish womaniser.
Joanne Woodward plays Dory and gives the performance of a very fragile, needy woman who just wants to get married and having children. She is a University student, but still sees no need to have a career. A modern audience will find this annoying - I know I did - her apparent naivety when her lover is around ...

Advantages: Brucieeee! :-D Disadvantages: Some acting isnt wonderful...
Love this film :-p
And not only because its got a VERY sexy Bruce Willis running around!!!! The film has been on TV alot recently, possibly promoting the new Die Hard 4.0 film, and I was (forced!!) to watch it with my husband, I didn't want to...its not my kind of film, but when we watched it, I found it amazing!!!
Yes some of the acting of the foreign men (Karl), isn't wonderful, but other than that, the film is amazing! The story line is gripping, the characters are played wonderfully by the actors, and theres the right amount of comic factors in there to make it light hearted whilst still been a good action film!
The basic storyline is that of a police agent who goes to see his wife and kids who he lives apart from in new york for christmas, but when he is at the office block she works in, all hell breaks loose and a huge ...
