Robin Williams effectively had himself labeled a fan favorite throughout his entire career. From films like Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) to the iconic Aladdin (1992), he placed himself among Hollywood’s elite and people have come to adore him, even after death. However, each and every member of that Hollywood elite is bound to appear in something with little to no success or likeability; this film was that for Williams. Williams, along with the rest of the cast, found themselves in a position where they needed to make up for a truly terrible script. Writer and director, Omar Naim, threw together a film that lacked a plot or any true direction. The film was strung along by a series of coincidences and incomprehensible motives. Very little was made clear throughout the course of the film and even less was done to make anything in the film believable. The progression of the story was less than acceptable and, in nearly every way, caused audiences to have to figure everything out on their own. Williams (Alan Hakman), Jim Caviezel (Fletcher) and the rest of the cast all had the same issue. Each and every line spoken throughout the film was done so in a matter-of-fact fashion. There was a total void of emotion from any of the actors leaving nothing admirable about the finished product. Lack of even mediocre acting, lack of story and lack of emotion left audiences with absolutely no reason to appreciate this film. Naim, and his entire cast and crew, dropped the ball and created a film that is incapable of pleasing most any audience. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
