The Cold Light of Day (2012)
No joke, this is one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. It's one of those where the cast is great but, for whatever reason, it is completely made of FAIL.
Will (Henry Cavill) is on vacation with his family when they are kidnapped by the Mossad. Don't you just hate it when that happens? It turns out that his dad (Bruce Willis) is actually a spy who killed a bunch of agents and stole a mysterious briefcase. The Israelis want the MacGuffin, I mean briefcase, back and they have taken Will's family hostage in order to get that done. Will is left to run through the streets of Spain with only the help of beautiful but constantly-screaming Lucia (Veronica Echegui) in order to get his family back.
This movie should have been mercifully killed before making it off the editing room floor. There's just too much shit wrong with it but not enough camp to make it enjoyable in spite of its flaws. Sigourney Weaver tries to be the film's Big Bad but, honestly, she was better in Vamps and that is just sad. Cavill better straighten up and fly right before he turns up in Man of Steel this summer. I know there's a Superman curse and all but this might be the first time I've seen it be preemptive.
