Even if I were interested in the story, the narrative fragmenting is annoying.  This is based on the Grisham novel and directed by Gary Fleder, after Don't Say a Word and before The Express.

While Jackson's performance is good, opening the movie with an abused child as a hostage means I would never watch more than the required quarter hour.  F. Gary Gray directed, five years before the Italian Job remake.

I didn't really last until the "action" part of the movie, but as a dark comedy about an incompatible couple, it's pretty unappealing.  I mean to the extent that I kept wanting the narrative to follow minor characters or even extras.  Doug Liman directed.
