Ratings and reviews

While I am a lifelong fan of the four biggest actors of the past century, this movie is packed full of contradictory science and plot-holes. The action is great but still one very lousy movie, as far as storyline goes. I bought it unseen and almost regret it. Lousy story overall.

Just a treat to see these four icons bring all of their character styles together for such an entertaining and well designed script. I laughed and cried.

Just watching the 4 icons was great but it was sad to lose James Garner.
