Security with Antonio Banderas

Think die hard in a shopping mall to quote one review

To say it is dire does the word dire a disservice

How can a man who has won an Oscar, Grammy, BAFTA, two Golden Globes, and a Screen Actors Guild Award do this?

What i can mot figure out is how it might have been written that they read it and thought this will be good........

How do careers end like this and how does someone get something so conceptually dire made?

Have you just recently checked back in with Kingsley? He's been doing questionable movies for years.

Bloodrayne
The Love Guru
Prince of Persia
The Dictator
Etc.

Feel the same way about Pacino. Went from The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon to excrement like Righteous Kill and Danny Collins.

It was a car crash, I couldn't stop watching. I have yet to figure out how it came up with 2-1/2 to 3 stars.

But he was good in Ender's Game brief though his part was.

He was amazing in Sexy Beast. I don't remember a damn thing about the plot except that he was really fun to watch.

His character Don was perhaps the best played bad guy of all time. Hate personified. All those scenes where ray Winston is worn down and Kingsley just drives through him.

He is a busy, probably well-paid working actor. In that regard he is doing just fine.
He is in his 70's so likely prefers smaller parts that don't require weeks on set or a publicity tour. Plus, he might prefer jobs closer to home, the caveat being the parts are smaller.
Any scene with BK in it is elevated by his presence. He is one of the best.
