The Cold Light Of Day (2012) 6/10

Starring : Henry Cavill, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Echegui, Roschdy Zem, Joseph Mawle, Oscar Jaenada, Caroline Goodall, Bruce Willis
Director : Mabrouk El Mechri
Running Time : 94 mins

When his mother and brother are kidnapped while holidaying in Spain, Will Shaw (Cavill) discovers that his father Martin (Willis) is secretly a CIA agent, and that he must return a briefcase that was taken as part of an assignment, because if he doesn’t return it the kidnappers will kill his wife and son.

This isn’t the best action thriller in the world, but then it isn’t the worst. You’d think having Bruce “John McClane” Willis, Henry “Superman” Cavill and Sigourney “Ripley” Weaver amongst the cast would help, but it didn’t really do much to improve the plot. There are some fun action sequences, and even though the idea of someone finding out a family member is secretly working for the government or as a spy isn’t that original, this is still a likeable enough action flick that most fans of the action movie will enjoy if they just switch off their doubting minds for 90 minutes.
