no tears at the end for me...

...because Gibson and kid were joke characters. The writers put far too many comedic lines into the dialogue, along with cutesi banter and strained reaction shots. I was never convinced that the daughter was only 17, and her basic dishonesty and selfishness made her nothing but a hot air balloon. The relationship wasn't realistic at all, and therefore all the escapades and gang-chases-and-danger were unengaging, although well choreographed and filmed. If a screenplay intends to put your heart in your mouth with clenching suspense and driven, pounding action, it better make damn sure that the characters are spot-on believable. Which the script failed to do, with the outcome that by the end of the story, I still didn't give a damn about the two characters or their relationship.
