I will send you ahead to meet your grandpa in the Cayman Islands: briefly;  Sarah [Thalia Campbell:] is an intelligent girl that is sent to these islands because her parents are in some deepwater with the wrong people. Her grampa; Matt Robson/Jim Bentom [Nicolas Cage:] he is a retired special forces.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 103 minutes film is just so, so, so unenthusiastic to the point where the person what some of these films with and I were falling asleep and to complement that and I do mean that sarcastically we have this comedy level that comes across like it is trying too hard [even though I have just said this; I should very quickly point out because this film is slow it gives off the illusion that the comedy is just trying too hard.] Whilst I'm on the subject there was only a small number of occasions is that where this film made me laugh; for a small example we have Robson/Benton doing a impression of someone that is dying/dead.

Action: they are hard-hitting and sometimes in conjunction with the comedy where in this scene Robson/Benton has put this rope around his daughter's waist; Ashley [Ashley Greene:] she is Robson/Benton's estranged daughter which now needs his help. So he is trying to encourage her but quickly to jump off and down this balcony to the next one below before the henchmen catch them, but he has to quickly throw her off and deal with the henchmen; let's just say they make it down but the henchmen makes it down to the ground level.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are solid, you know they follow their character types and the only ones that had genuine chemistry was Sarah and Bobo [Ron Perlman:] a high-ranking henchmen to Donnie [Jackie Earle Haley:] which without giving too much away he himself answers to somebody else. But I digress Sarah and Bobo talk about many things for an example William Shakespeare's Othello.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I mean yes I have pointed out some of the positives that this film has to offer, but it is a counterbalance situation, so let's try and leave this content on a positive if you are a fan of either or both of Cage or/and Perlman take a look at this film, but I would suggest going in with low, really low expectations, actually the lower the better to the point where you might actually be pleasantly surprised that is how low I am talking about here so either way you can't go wrong.
