The Surprise Visit

The story was simple but ok. The acting was horrible. I only rated it 3 stars because I've seen worse believe it not. Anyone who rates this highly must be relatives of the actors.

Awful movie. Awful acting, bad choreography, and terrible script. The only good actor is Eric Roberts and his screen time is minimal. The rest is a train wreck.

Nothing original, nothing interesting. But they made a movie anyway. The production wasn't bad, the acting was decent. There are the two stars in my rating. Normally I would give this one a (low because of stupid, predictable, overused character actions), but I'm also deducting two points for the truly stupid fake reviews. "Solid movie," John Smith? Shameful, backfired self promotion. Paycheck role for Eric Roberts; would have been better, seemed more real, without him in it.

The most hideous awful movie ! Don't waste your time ! Everything about it bad ! I am shocked Eric Roberts accepted the role to be in this not true movie that bait clicks you into wasting your time that is not based on a true story! What a joke ! I'd rather watch paint dry!

I don't know if a break in can be accurately described as a surprise visit? I mean that is a pun that I would make or a joke I would use. For movie purposes that is - not real life situations, just to be clear.

Eric Roberts - I wonder a lot has been said about Nicolas Cage popping movies left and right (though he always delievers no matter how good or bad the script is/was) and about Bruce WIllis - though we now know why he did so many. He needed to make retirement money. No one seems to be talking about Eric Roberts - but why should they. He is doing his thing - sometimes it may feel like he is phoning it in too - but he has the charisma to still pull anything off anyway.

He of course is not the main character here. They are not as easily likeable I'd say - but you may understand their motives anyway. A decent enough thriller with enough surprises - even if nothing too exciting maybe.
