Let's be realistic.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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!

This has got to be the worst ever. The directing, writing, acting is below average B ratings. I won't even mention the names of the director and writer as they aren't even worthy of a pan. But the terrible acting is. First off I don't see the magic in David Hasselhoff. I know he's a household name, but why? Because of his personal life, I've no doubt. For as an actor this film shows his talent to the fold. Boring, boring and boring. One expression on his face throughout - duh! He manages to take the terrible dialogue and make it even worse, if that can be believable. Can't see why he works at all. Gregg Henry as the villain comes off a bit better, but that's because he isn't in the film that much and you get enough of him in the beginning. Yvonne Scio as the so-called tramp is a bad Barbie doll and no acting ability. Her scenes are laughable. In fact the chemistry between she and Hasselhoff is just plain empty. Nothing. Nada. And the wifey-poo, played by Sherri Alexander, is a joke. She's not given that much and she manages to louse that up as well. So, please avoid this mess.

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.
