Deadlock

"Deadlock" tells the story of Ron Whitlock (Bruce Willis), a wanted criminal, leading a team of mercenaries on a mission of vengeance. The ruthless group brutally seizes an energy plant and holds everyone inside hostage. Retired army ranger Mack Karr (Patrick Muldoon) has to save the day. The action scenes are ample but not thrilling. The storyline is very predictable and the acting performance of Bruce is again under par. I still don´t get it. It really looks like Bruce is forced to act. He just seems burnt out. On the other hand, I liked the performance of Patrick Muldoon (Mack). At least one good actor in an $11,000,000 budget movie. Don´t waste your time! Skip this movie.

I used to like this Willis chap many moons ago. He made movies that fired up my testosterone levels to the point I would roll over my kitchen table and shoot imaginary terrorists just before making a sandwich. Alas, those days are gone now and what we are left with is an old haggard looking man, just about delivering his lines and possibly trying not to soil himself. Over the last few years, I have given him chance after chance and feel let down every time, what a way to ruin one's legacy. This is another run of the mill 'action' movie that isn't worth your time. I was so upset, I decided to wire my butlers door handle to the electric mains just to brighten up my day. Blast and double blast!

He is putting out B or even C rated movies at a blistering pace. His name is now trashed.

Anytime I see his name now I think of Steven Segal, an actor many thought was good at action movies until he was exposed in behind the scenes footage.

Nothing to see in this film, it was my last attempt to watch a movie with him in it, and I didn't last all that long.

I've committed to watch every low budget film that Bruno makes. Muldoon was terrible in this film, and I like the man as an actor. The project lacked the usual co-stars like Lydia Hall, Chad Michael Murray, etc that Bruno usually works with.

Felt like this was shot in about 15-20 days.

Great gig if you can get it. Show up on B movie set for a day or two. Utter a few lines, sit on the toilet a while and get a large paycheck.

Willis is obviously on a long money train, doing everything and anything no matter how degrading, no matter how humiliating, no matter how disgracefully bad to get paid.
