The movie is being produced by Douglas and Outlook Pictures.

I saw a preview for this at 16 Blocks. It reminded me of 24 except that Michael Douglas is Jack Bauer and Kiefer Sutherland is some low level agent that doesn't know any better. It was truly confusing.

Saw it last night. Theatre was sold out. Very good movie!

I just watched it. I thought it was an average, very forgettable movie. Eva was decent. It was strange to see her in a role other than her devious Gabrielle character. I noticed that she was in an episode of 90210 back in 2000, right before she started doing soaps.

It was a decent movie. There were no Eva skin shots, so I was highly disappointed. I convinced my wife that I thought this would be a good movie and we should go ahead and rent it because Sutherland and Douglas are great actors. I just wanted to see some Longoria skin....
