I knew going in that the rating was low, but I thought maybe it was because Uwe Boll have many people who dislike him and maybe didn't give it a fair chance.Now don't get me wrong, the first Uwe Boll movies I saw was 'House Of The Dead' and 'Alone In The Dark' and later 'In The Name Of The King' and they truly were terrible so he does get a bad name occasionally for a good reason.But I've also discovered that he occasionally can be a pretty good filmmaker as well 'Rampage', 'Rampage: Capital Punishment', 'Assault On Wall Street' and 'Heart of America' are all solid movies for me.I think those movies are close to Boll's heart and therefor they come out a lot better as he gives them a proper effort.With this one though, not much effort was given at all.The dialogue is poor, the acting is poor even the cinematography and pace is poor yeah there's really not many positives to give away here.If I was forced to give one positive than I suppose I could say that at least it's not Boll's worst movie.

Remaking classic films is admirable. It is a great way to introduce a new generation to the classic stories of our culture, when it's done correctly. Suddenly is a remake of the 1954 Frank Sinatra film by the same name, starring Ray Liotta as Tod Shaw. Shaw is an aging, alcoholic cop in a small town, who is at the end of his career. One day, rather suddenly, the President makes a surprise stop in the town where he works. As they make the final preparations for the visit, Shaw comes to realize that a local family has been taken hostage, and the President is in danger. In remaking a film like this, producers should only consider going one of two ways. Either make it a true remake, set in 1954, or adapt the story to fit the times, Uwe Boll did neither. This remake is very much the same story, but takes place in 2013. This is problematic, as it makes the story somewhat unbelievable. There are better ways of doing things, modern technology, many different things the story could have and should have changed, but it didn't. As for Ray Liotta, he's probably the last person I would cast to reprise Frank Sinatra. When Sinatra made this film, he was 39 years old, Liotta is 58 years old, and he more than acts his age. Are we really supposed to believe that at nearly 60 years old, Liotta can even attempt to take on a beast like Dominic Purcell? The whole thing was just way off target, but I am giving it 2 1/2 stars, because of Purcell. This guy just gets better with every performance, weather it's the lovably naive escaped con or the scary cold assassin, Purcell is always believable and fun to watch. Suddenly was never that great of a story to begin with, but for some reason Uwe Boll had a connection to it, and decided to remake it, but the way it is done makes it almost comical and anything but a fitting tribute to the work of Frank Sinatra.

First thing - Secret Service agents are all wearing the exact same ties, white shirts, black suits, and the same style black shoes.Continuity problems – at one point, one of the actors grabs a case out of the SUV to carry into the house, but walks through the front door without anything in his hands. The house is supposed to be isolated on the side of the mountain, yet in outside scenes, other houses are visible across the street. In another scene Ray Liotta is unshaven and in the very next scene he is clean shaven.If you can ignore all the directorial and other mistakes, it's watchable, but only barely.

What a fail. Haha I laughed during the movie. The kid was a crappy actor "no no no u gotta believe us" hahaha. What a crybaby horrible actor. Stay in school kid and become a welder :). His mom? Lmfao what a horrible job acting. The crying way so unbelievable and the dialect was sleepy time tea. I am glad this didn't make it to the screen. I stayed up til 3am watching it on Netflix. Thank god I didn't pay $1.10 at red box for this. Ray liotta must have taken this script to pay bills and fill in when he had no work. Just Awful acting. I laughed when the old dude died hahahahahaha. . Gave it a 2 only because I watched it all the way through. When the old dude died they played this cheesy scream 2 music in the background and some chodey snare drum and cymbal marching band crap at other times. So stupid and fake! I am going to watch the original black and white version on YouTube and see a real movie. I wasted 2 hours of sleep for this crap.
