guil fisher 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.

chrispage100 SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD! Layover is the sort of film you catch once in a while when your not looking for it. I caught this film late at night on C5, and started watching it because I saw David Hasslehoff was in it. That guy cracks me up, just his name is kind of comical. The film itself is a pretty good idea and should be a bit better than it is. Its a thriller with a lot of twists. A lot! Maybe a few too many. The plot is pretty fast paced which is good and keeps things moving so you don't have to sit through any especially boring bits. It tells the story of businessman Dan Morrison (hasslehoff), who is paranoid that his wife is cheating on him and then goes and cheats on her at the airport with a woman who walks up to him and essentially says: lets go! This happens out of town in San Francisco during a layover, hence the title. There is a hilarious scene after Dan makes love to the woman at the airport. He stands up and puts on his glasses and they are cracked. The Hoff's expression is priceless. Shortly after though is the beginning of my issues about this film. I thought it would be pretty unlikely that Dan would accompany the other couple to dinner 10 minutes after sleeping with the wife. Also the bad guys rely heavily on Dan being co-operative. All it takes is for him to say no at any stage to just one of their requests of which there are many throughout the evening, then the plan is foiled. There is a scene in the car where Vicky says that she can't believe that she is doing this (leaving her husband) and Dan says: neither can I! Well, I'm not sure the audience can either Dan.Even letting all this slide, maybe Dan is just a bit gullible, there is still trouble with the plot. To justify the various wild twists in the story there are a few loose ends that never get tied up. And the wife turning out to be part of it all at the end was a bit much. And if she was all part of it, why did she kill Jack. She was obviously deranged. Also the diamond motive at the end is weak. All these people went to so much trouble for some diamonds. Sheesh, it would have been easier and quicker to rob a bank surely! I don't really hold all this realism stuff against it though because you can pick apart a lot of movies! Overall Layover is a good enough action thriller. Fans of Hoff will love it and its still worth a watch even if you don't love him. Its a comfy film to watch, so catch it if its on.

russian-jack Watching this movie is a study in frustration. Just when things are going well there is a cheap device to make a transition. Without giving away the ending, it's possible to see the final betrayal of trust several minutes in advance.

lookinglasself Please people, don't support David Hasselhoff's post-Baywatch career. At least not when he's making movies like this. This film is the epitome of cliche and Alan McElroy has got to be the twin brother of Alan Smithee because this movie is pure garbage. I swear i've heard every spoken sentence from this movie in at least 10 other movies. Not only is it uncreative and unoriginal, it's poorly acted. I'm pretty sure that this was one of those one-take, one-week filmed movies. I can only recommend this movie to the few people who enjoy B-movies with the classic formulae of f-words, sex, and violence.To all the others with taste (like me) avoid this banal, predictable, uninspired and cliched movie at all costs.
