By not trying too hard, this remake of a dumb movie has got spring in its step. The bounce is on us.

It’s sexy, offbeat fun for the most part, but it’s way too laid-back for its own good and, in the end, obstinately refuses to be anything more than the sum of its highly promising parts.

Modestly engaging, albeit instantly forgettable shaggy-dog story only gradually reveals itself as a seriocomic take on standard-issue noir.

The usual double-crosses and convolutions ensue, but the narrative is so haphazard that the whole thing -- both the caper and the movie that contains it -- seems to have been hastily improvised.

By the way, good luck making sense out of the final fifteen minutes. I'd say people were asleep at the wheel on this one but the film is so pointlessly all over the place that I'm not sure there even was one.

There may once have been a real movie rattling inside the empty studio package known as The Big Bounce, but no longer.
20
An insipid potboiler set against the far more enticing surf and sand of Oahu's North Shore.

I was enjoying the movie halfway through, and then suddenly the "spark" just ended. And i don't want to sound too cliché, but this movie had the worst ending i have ever saw in my life; and i saw "Under The Mountain" with Sam Neil.
