Despite a talented cast, this movie doesn't work.

How could so many talented people make such a tepid, superfluous movie? It's easy: that's what happens when you listen to your inner marketer instead of your muse.

The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling.

The plot makes little sense, and it all degenerates into the inevitable car chase in the final act, but there's enough wit in the script and chemistry between the likeable leads to cover the loose ends.
