5/10: B-action which is watchable.


5/10

In short: Miami Vice (2006) meets a heist movie with worse acting. If you watch it exspecting a classic action you will be disappointed, if you are just out to watcha movie with a few mates this could do (if you are not moviebuffs!).

In long: I'd imagine good bang for the buck. Bruce Willis shows a continued rise since the "reset" (making a few quite bad movies, or rather which did not turn out perfect). Embracing typcecasting and honing his ability for it could make for a new big Bruce Willis movie where he's actually back delivering classic lines naturally. Paritally relaxed dialogue which is quite well written (for an action) and some roles makes it come alive at parts. It seemingly tries to overcome the cliches it has written into the plotline and dialogue, at parts makes a decent job at it.

Pro's
• Budget vs effects.
• Bruce Willis gives hints of his old self
• Dialogue and partially original roles

Con's
• Unoriginal plotline.
• Predictable plottwists.

End note: A possible gamble with giving this writer and director more freedom could pay out in a larger action (avoiding intricate plotlines).

Ignorance is only a bliss if you haven't reached awareness.
