Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

Sometimes Willis' low-budget action movies have quirky little touches that distract from their awfulness, but this one has none; it's as lazy, nonsensical, and junky-looking as they come.

Rated: 1/5

It's another recent quickie Bruce Willis movie, so you know the film will probably not be good.

Rated: D

Blu-ray.com

A low-budget action movie, and Miller doesn't deliver anything more than that, going painfully generic with shootouts and showdowns, often caught skipping on storytelling clarity as this nonsense unfolds.

Rated: D

Gero C I wasn't expecting much and I ended up liking it quite a bit. A movie that I suppose is low budget, bringing out all the good things about action movies and police movies. Highly recommended Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Jake Just another support film for Bruce. Too bad and not the way to go out for a great actor Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review michael d After killing a drug syndicate member while protecting a parolee, Connor Connolly has one day to pay two million dollars he doesn't have to Tyrone Pettis.He is forced to ask his old military ops crew, led by Brice Mason, to come together and somehow get the money before Connor loses everyone he loves.....What you have here is another case of great cast, average film. Kevin 'Sorry I thought you were the other one' Dillon is the lead here, and for people who have. Little common sense on here will already know that Willis isn't predominant in this film, and due to his health issues, nothing more will be said in this review about him.But it was fantastic to see Leon in this as the bad guy, channelling his performance in Cliffhanger to wonderful effect. And there's the always reliable Frank Grillo in it foe a few scenes to make the film feel a little more shines.But it's use another mundane story somebody doing wrong to a crime lord ad having to pat them back in droves, or his pregnant wife will be killed, even though Leon tells people off for smoking around her.Add a pound shop Davi's Schwimmer and you are left with a film that feels like 12 Rounds, but much longer.And the effects team must have dared each other, as there is some of the poorest green screen ever committed to film.So it's not terrible, just terribly average... Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Christian M Terrible. It had potential though. They tried to pack too many different ideas into one movie. It was very all over the place. Special effects were very poor considering today's tech. Acting wasn't that great. Don't waste your time. Plot wasn't thought out. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review Ali S Bruce Wills my man. This is a must watch for Bruce fans Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review You F Great movie to watch Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
