What the Critics say
24.com Ilan Preskovsky Willis doesn't simply act badly here; he doesn't act at all. He spends the entire film sleepwalking through every scene with the same punchably smug expression on his face, looking like he would rather be anywhere else and making it very clear just how little he thinks of both his audience and the film in which he is starring.	2
