A bad movie

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from this flick but, since it was starring Bruce Willis, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Unfortunately, like pretty much 99% of what Willis has done during the last 10 years of his career, the damned thing turned out to be borderline unwatchable, I’m afraid. Where should I start? Even the title didn’t make much sense since there was no reprisal whatsoever. These movies were actually shot in 14 days and it shows and you might wonder how long it took them to write such a clunky script (2 days maybe?). And who came up with the great idea of casting Frank Grillo as a banker? I have to admit that Grillo was actually not bad playing a guy on the edge and traumatized by a bank robbery (at least, he did try which was more than what you could say about the rest of the cast) but he was still completely miscast for this role. The saddest thing is actually that Bruce Willis did retire back in 2022 because he was suffering from aphasia and you might wonder if he was already suffering from this disease back then. At least, he did have more screen time than in this usual direct-to-VOD garbage but it was just rather painful to see the veteran obviously struggling with his performance. The fact that his character could have been easily removed without having any impact on the plot probably didn’t help either. Concerning Olivia Culpo, it's only after I watched this movie that I discovered that she was actually crowned Miss Universe back in 2012 so she was definitely charming but I’m not surprised that her career as an actress never really took off after being involved in such drivel. Anyway, to conclude, the damned thing was a big waste of time, for myself and all the people involved, and you should probably avoid it.
