Here's the thing about this movie. It isn't a bad movie, it's just stretched to the breaking point in order to make a full-length film out of it. Much like The Lucky One, where all the guy had to do was say, "I found this picture in the war....", this one runs on the fact that the guy has one sentence to say, before the inevitable results of his silence, that has any meaning....and for some reason, he can't make himself do that little thing...to the level where the audience just wants to collectively stand up and shout, "Say it! Just say it, for heaven sake!" But he doesn't. At least Chris Pine doesn't look 12 years old in this one, which was what made the movie This Means War such a farce. He does look a bit more mature, thank goodness. And he's pretty good in this one. And I know. I know. In either film I've mentioned, had that one vital, important sentence been uttered, it could have made a much shorter movie. But, on the other hand, perhaps it would have meant the creators might have been forced to come up with a few more reasons to create suspense in the audience. Maybe. Clever ending here, I will say. Added a nice emotional tie-up.
