Paradise City is a fun and lightweight tale for an evening of Hulu and chill. It’s not going to change the world, but it’s entertaining enough, especially considering Willis’s recent retirement. Read full review

Glenn Kenny

Nov 10, 2022

The movie’s generic quality is spruced up by eccentric plots points (go-go dancers who also serve as undercover eco-activists, a nice Andy Sidaris-like touch) and kooky dialogue. Read full review

Screen Rant Patrice Witherspoon

Director Chuck Russell’s projects always bring a sense of vivacity and killer action sequences in ways his peers often struggle with. But this time around, the magic is missing from Paradise City. Sure, his film contains reliable and entertaining components like most action features do — including an underlying vengeance plot, an expert conman, and even a budding romance — but these elements tend to quickly run their courses thanks to a predictable script, wonky dialogue, and pacing issues.

If only everyone else had followed John Travolta’s lead, then the film might have lived up to its title. Read full review

Bruce is ill and super-rich, why doesn't he retire and enjoy his accumulated fortune? Meanwhile, the Hawaiian tourism board gives thanks.
