I had seen some early reviews from professional critics for A Family Man (The Headhunter's Calling) and they seemed exceptionally harsh, but after seeing the film for myself, I would have to say they were actually being too kind. The writing is extremely weak, tedious, and formulaic. It was sad to see Gerard Butler buried beneath its lackluster and generic weight. While some critics do miss the mark in their reviews, I would have to agree with their early assessment on this one.
