Anyone else looking forward to seeing this this weekend? I’m looing forward to seeing Costner and Kutcher’s dynamic. I really like Kutcher in Butterfly Effect, he really suprised me, so I’m looking forward to seeing him an another new type of role.
Damn, I was looking forward to a thread about a left-leaning British newspaper that cannot spell.
Well, the missus and I saw it today, and were pleasantly surprised. I’d been dubious about seeing any picture which mixed Costner and water, after that one damp groaner of his, but it was good. And whoever played the up and coming rescue swimmer did a nice job too.
It was fascinating seeing how rescue swimmers get trained (assuming those sequences reflected reality at least somewhat). And I thought the ending was only slightly more contrived that the rest of the move.
Two and 3/4 stars!
I could see the ending coming a mile away and there needs to be about 20 or so minutes of editing but overall it wasn’t too bad. I thought Kevin Kostner was just fine as was Ashton Kutcher. I would’ve liked to see some signs that the Ashton Kutcher revelation was coming. Nothing big just a little clue, maybe I missed it, I don’t know.
2.5/4 stars by me.
Yeah, I was really impressed too. Kutcher continues to suprise me with his skill in these roles. It was a lot longer than I thought, but I was never board, they did a good job balencing a long dramatic film with enough action to keep it engaging.
Overall I was suprisingly impressed as well!
