- Bruce Willis is an outcast FBI agent who protects a 9 year old autistic boy who is the target for assassins after cracking a top secret government code.
- The United States government is about to launch its brand new super code. Impossible to break, or so they thought until it was broken by a nine year old autistic boy. Now the bodies are piling up to keep it secret and the mercury is rising.
- FBI agent Art Jeffries is washed out after confronting his superiors after an undercover job goes bad. Simon Lynch is an autistic child who loves puzzles. When he cracks a code that the Government put into a magazine to test it's strength he begins a target and his parents are murdered by someone from the NSA. Jeffries is assigned to the case when the boy goes missing and easily finds him. However Jeffries soon realises that this is not a simple case and that both he and the boy are in great danger as NSA Colonel Kudrow tries to protect his code.<br/><br/>Despite having a career boost in the mid nineties with 1995, Bruce Willis proved that he could still do pretty lame and mindless films by signing on to do this. In fairness it isn't that the film is really bad, it's more that it is condescending to it's audience. The actual plot is interesting Enemy of The State was good using the same sort of `all powerful Government conspiracy'. However this film feels so lazy in every approach that it spoils a potentially good set up by not playing to it's strengths and thus exposing it's weaknesses.<br/><br/>It's weaknesses are of course the fact that the plot, lets be honest, is daft from square one. Add to this plot twists that are unexplained and daft and you're on the road to nowhere. The film introduces a love interest in a lazy way it doesn't really bring in her well and you're never quite sure who she is or what she's doing but suddenly they're kissing each other hello and goodbye etc. The film ahs some good thriller scenes but mostly these don't feel part of the film, as the majority of it is slow and talky.<br/><br/>This made me feel like I wasn't worth the effort that the producers felt that I didn't need to have a logic behind the story to enjoy it and that simply saying `look, she's a love interest OK?' for example would do the trick. It doesn't. On top of this the script falls into lazy cliché the hitman `died twenty years ago officially', Jeffries is `washed out' and on pills, even the black sidekick comes into play.<br/><br/>Willis looks like he is on autopilot and Willis on autopilot is not a good thing. He mumbles his way through it and doesn't really convince aside from when being an action hero. Hughes is really good if a little annoying. His role didn't help me understand autism at all (in fact it was a bit gimmicky) but he did well as an actor. The only downside is that horrible, pitying score that plays when he is onscreen all sad and `awh, bless'. Baldwin reminded me of his role in Glengary Glen Ross here talking with authority and down to his staff, but he is nowhere near as good. He isn't as all powerful or menacing as, say, John Voight in `Enemy of the state' simply because Alex only seems to have a few staff and none of them can catch a child. Ginter is menacing but not given enough time, Dickens is simply thrown into the film without thought and Peter Stormare makes a fleeting appearance.<br/><br/>Overall this is passable but I couldn't shake the feeling that I, as an audience member, deserved more. Why shouldn't the story hang together? Why shouldn't the script work harder and not just be lazy? Why shouldn't the film be exciting and the actors be acting full tilt? This is a dumb thriller acting like a grown up thriller at every point it feels like it just couldn't be bothered to put in that little bit of extra effort.
- I thought this movie was okay- not good, not bad. It was hugely original, you could see all the plot twists coming, and I've never been a big fan of either Bruce Willis or Alec Baldwin. But I still think this movie is decent.<br/><br/>However, having seen a variety of reviews and having discussed this movie with others, it has become crystal clear to me that a lot of people don't really understand what autism is and is not. First, a lot of people seem to think that someone with autism is automatically profoundly retarded, and if they have any special abilities it is in memorizing the phone book. It is true that about 70% of children with autism are also mentally retarded, but this means that 30% are not. The child in this film, it seems quite clear, would fall in that 30%, and if I remember correctly, he was attending a regular school and not a special one, and not all children with autism can function very well in that environment, while this child seems to manage fairly well. In a study by someone named Lovaas in 1987, when autistic children worked one-on-one with therapists and their parents for 40 hours a week, 47% completed a regular grade 1 class and had an average IQ of 107, and only 11% of the kids had to learn in a first grade class for autistic-retarded children. This certainly suggests that a lot of autistic children are not nonfunctioning and are not without reasonable intelligence.<br/><br/>The child in question does, however, still exhibit impairments in social interactions and communication, and some stereotyped patterns of behavior. Savant abilities occur in 6-10% of those with autism, and it is doubtful in my mind that any movie will be made with an autistic chid as a main character in which the child does not exhibit better than average abilities for someone with autism. It's the same reason they didn't make Dustin Hoffman just sit in a corner and rock back and forth. That's not very interesting. I do agree that it is highly unlikely that some child would have cracked the code this kid is supposed to have cracked. But if one looks at it another way, it makes a little more sense: people with autism often have a problem with concepts and rules, and often fixate on a particular thing. In this case, the fact that this child did not have some rigidly entrenched rules with which to go about solving a puzzle may have made it possible for him to solve the possible while the genius down the street couldn't, because that genius has in his or her mind that there are a set number of ways to approach a problem. It is not explained how the code was put into this puzzle, so we have no way of knowing if this hypothesis of mine is valid, but I don't doubt that the reason the creators of this film did not include such information is because they didn't want to cut off the possibility. Also, the child was consumed with puzzles; he did not have other activities and thoughts interfering with him solving the puzzle.<br/><br/>Anyway, that's about all I have to say. This movie is improbable, but not as ridiculous as some say. But even if it is improbable, who cares? Star Wars is improbable too; most movies are. That's why we watch them. We get enough reality in our daily lives and from the news; at least, I know I do. If you want reality, watch the news or court tv, or just stare out your window. I always thought the whole idea of movies is to escape from reality for a couple hours.
- Past an impressive siege opening, everything in this `thriller' is terrible: the action, the supposed tension, the dialogue and the plot. Every opportunity to make it good is missed.
