Paradise City

I’m not sure if what Willis, Travolta, and Dorff do here rises to what you’d call integrity, but all three seem to be enjoying themselves. They slum with style.

This is TV-cop-show-level stuff, shot in some of Hawaii’s least scenic locations. The stars can’t save it.

[It] sounds like one of those fake movies joked about on “Seinfeld” or “30 Rock.” And yet “Paradise City” is a reality of sorts, albeit an uncomfortable reality.

Paradise City is a fun and lightweight tale for an evening of Hulu and chill.

... A low-budget action film, difficult to watch in terms of plot, and in the style of a tourist video without heads or tails. [Full review in Spanish]

Dull cliched thriller.

Paradise City has a capable cast working with a script that was concocted overnight. At best it feels like a free paid trip to Hawaii for everyone involved.

Beautiful Hawaiian locations, a veteran genre director, and nostalgic stunt casting can't overcome the general low energy level and lazy attitude that permeate this crime drama from start to finish.

[Chuck] Russell, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Edward Drake and Corey Large is painfully tedious and worst of all, relies heavily on expository-heavy scenarios to drive the movie forward.

Despite its capable cast, the film never generates much suspense amid a parade of cliched genre twists.
