EZ Mart Quickstop: in a nutshell; this husband-and-wife Will and Lisa Spann [Gerard Butler and Jaimie Alexander:] are going through a very rough patch in their marriage to the point where Lisa is going to say with her parents for a while Barry and Anna Adams [Bruce Altman and Cindy Hogan:] they are aware of some degree of their daughter's marriage is on the rocks. But after stopping at this gas station to pick up some petrol/gas and other things she goes missing. Detective Paterson [Russell Hornsby:] he is on the case, but he is hardly professional based on the grounds without concrete evidence, but maybe a little bit of circumstantial evidence of a life insurance policy for Lisa he believes it is Will that is squarely in the frame, so Detective Paterson and Will do their own separate investigation. The framework, background music and pacing of this 95 minutes film; is just garbage really, really garbage; straight off the bat the script is one of those safe and reliable ones, but to execute that with this kind of framework and pacing, I mean I know what they are trying to do here with this occasional melodic really noticeable background sound and that is to try and create some atmosphere and foreboding that kind of thing, but the execution of this is just so poor and it really doesn't help when at the beginning of the film the viewers will see a scene that is much later on in the film and then the film starts at the beginning.

Action/Art: the action is the standard guns shooting, for a moment I think we get to see from Will's perspective. The art; there is this god awful explosion scene, meaning you can clearly see it is taking place in front of a green screen, you will know it when you see it, because it sticks out like a sore thumb, it is so ugly and there is some good-looking scenes when Will and Lisa are hugging.

Character developments and performances: all I can say about these character developments and performances is; if this was what they were going for and wanted, well they struck gold really. Generally speaking these character types are very generic consequently tedious and annoying the only ones that put in a solid performance is Gerard Butler as Will Spann and Cindy Hogan as Anna Adams; full disclosure I know she doesn't say too much, but it is one of those cases where you go; put in a solid performance and nothing will go wrong and whilst I am on the subject I know her husband hasn't got much to say either, but he comes over very annoying as in a character.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I mean on one hand I wouldn't waste my time watching this film and yes I am fully aware of the hypocrisy here that I have just wasted my time watching this film. But on the other hand if there are any fans of Gerard Butler out there in Internet land, you could take a look at this film but I really, really wouldn't expect too much, keep your expectations nice and low so that a ladybird could win the limbo world championships and pick up gold; that is the kind of low I am talking about here.
