Starring Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Carribean) and Andie MacDowell (once such a beautiful and fine actress). With these 2 renowned names I was really curious if this movie could be worth a watch.
The bad: these 2 actors have had their finest days way behind them. Orlando Bloom doesnt impress at all as a red neck character. He even comes across a bit silly with his FAKE southern accent which doesnt suit him at all.
Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and lots of similar romantic comedies, was such a lovely fine actress back in the nineties. Unfortunately her once so pretty face looks like it was misfigured by a third degree burn accident now and while that misfugered face does suit her character, which is a vicious b8*!h, she still does look quite silly and laughable, which is the opposite effect that was desired. The other supporting actors are really only ever seen in terrible B-movies.
The worst thing about this cheaply produced B-movie is that it tries to take itself seriously, because it wants to be a hardhitting serious drama/thriller and it fails at achieving that completely.
To be avoided, especially for the fans of Orlando Bloom and Andie MacDowell. Such a shame that these 2 once wonderful actors lower themselves to these kind of B-movies...
