The trailer


What did you think of the trailer? I thought it was great

You beat me to it, I was going to ask what people thought. I also thought it was great. I think Harrison does a good job in slight comedies, i.e. Six Days Seven Nights, Working Girl and Most Indy movies...

This does look like a good movie from the trailer.

The comedic moments offered in the trailer, especially on the part of Harrison Ford, are tired and offer nothing new. Ford appears to be playing the same character he always plays in this sort of movie. Admittedly, there is something funny about Ford on a pink bicycle, but it's humour of the lowest kind. Ford once said he looks over scripts and then chooses the ones he feels are the best. There's irony in that.

The trailer doesn't make me want to see the whole thing.

I can't remember the last Harrison Ford movie worth seeing--maybe Air Force One?

The dude's fallen a long way. I think the creepy weirdo he appears to be in real life is starting to manifest itself in his characters. Not that he was ever that much of an actor, in the same way that Eastwood or Bruce Willis aren't. I still like their best flicks, but they're usually just playing themselves.

He's looking *really* old anymore too. Like older than Paul Newman old, and Paul's 78, compared to Ford's 60.

Just recently saw the trailer on the net and was impressed with what I saw. My only fear is that all the humour shown on the trailer was it ~ that there's nothing else humourous in the entire movie. Only time will tell.

"Fallen a long way?" He's only done like 3 or 4 movies since what you considered to be his last "movie worth seeing." I thought K-19 the Widowmaker was pretty good -- and I really liked his performance in What Lies Beneath. And heck -- even though I don't like Ann Heche at all, Ford was pretty funny in 6 days 7 nights.

If you want to talk about an actor falling a long way we can talk about DeNiro.

I thought the trailer was awesome. Very funny and lots of action. It's really nice to see another Josh Hartnett movie. I can't wait for Hollywood Homicide to come out!

I think the trailer bombed it didn't make me want to see it. I am afraid the only people who will like the movie would be the same bunch that thought
"Showtime" was an excellent film. That too had an excellent actor who simply chose a really bad role. I think its tragic what has happened to Harrison Ford.

It was written by Ron Shelton. I like his movies. He wrote White Men Can't Jump which is very funny movie.

I think the movie has promise, mostly because of writer/director Ron Shelton, who does mostly enjoyable films. As far as the trailer goes, it fails the second you hear Harrison Ford reply to Josh Hrtnett after he is asked if he really is a psychic, and asnwers "I'm a detective for Pete's sake."

"For Pete's Sake!?!?!?!"
