With Don Johnson, yeah, he's definitely not a favourite of ours, but as I mentioned, the trailer was actually pretty good, good enough to draw us in to watch the damned thing.
As we started watching it seemed ok, decent pacing, but then, not sure what it was, it wasn't something I could pinpoint, but I turned to my wife and asked, this a really bad movie isn't it? She agreed.
But then we both agreed that we had committed, so we might as well enjoy it's total baddness.
