FIRE WITH FIRE (DVD Release USA 2012)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.2|5.0 Starsììì

Fire With Fire has depth of storyline, but is weakly acted by Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, and Rosario Dawson so that the characters lack believability. Without depth of acting input, the film fails to establish likeability, interest, and the desire to sit through the entire predictable story.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. If you are a Josh Duhamel fan, this could be a watch. But there are better films out there that feature him as an actor like Transformers. If you’re trying to pick this film up because of Bruce Willis, don’t bother. It rates as one of his worst performances.
