Wow! I just finished watching "Layover" and it was indeed a very enjoyable film. If you like good, made for TV style thrillers, then I think you will enjoy this film. Yvonne Scio is very beautiful while David Hasselhoff gives a fine performance (not sure why there are so many naysayers here putting his acting skills down as he was very good) and Gregg Henry was perfect in his role. Although the storyline is improbable, it has great twists and and turns which at times will have you at the edge of your seat (well this viewer definitely was!). It is not your average thriller as some here suggest but a good, action packed movie that is sure to entertain."Layover" gets my thumbs up!

I really like the twists in the story of this movie. It is easy to watch and has a good amount of suspense and humour. David Hasselhoff and Gregg Henry do a great acting job and the great directing and cinematography help to carry this mysterious story. OK, it seems to be quite obvious that this movie has been sponsored by Nokia (which makes some dialogues quite funny). I laughed a lot when I saw that scene in the beginning of the movie where Dan and Jack meet in the plane and Dan shows him that Nokia Communicator mobile phone, that he distributes around the globe... After all, this movie is worth giving it a try, even though the story has some weak spots which actually make this film even more likable!

I was all prepared to write this off as a chick flick. David Hasselhoff sells electronic gadgets and he suspects his wife of cheating on him, when actually he is the one who cheats, on his trips to San Francisco (curiously, the other woman disappears for good a few minutes after the movie starts, never to be heard from again). He meets a diamond seller on the airplane and ends up 'referreeing' or 'chaperoning' a night out with the diamond seller's wife, since the husband is abusive to her (and there's another reason, but that would be a spoiler). From there, the movie is about as predictable as a certain president was honest. Hasselhoff gets arrested for murder, and to say anything else would spoil the movie. Let's just say nothing is as it seems, and then when you think you've got it all figured out, you don't. And you'd never expect this ending.

This somewhat typical action thriller starts off pretty inauspiciously, dominated by overtones about marital affairs, cheap foul language and banality, and Greg Henry's in-your-face bad guy. The second half serves to partially acquit it as the plot unfolds more and David Hasselhoff, the sucker protagonist, gradually becomes less of a sucker. Altho the pace of the second half is good, we are still waiting for something good, but that happens at the end with a surely unexpected twist. Not much depth but OK as a thriller to rent for an evening.
