Vendetta

But for Jared Cohn, an experienced writer and director to give us this nonsense, is inexcusable. The writing was worse than a 5th grade drama class would present. This was such a plot-hole riddled lazily written bag full of cliches, it was cringe. Then he had his actors pretty much acting like clowns, I couldn't take Mr. Smiley and Pipe Smoker seriously. It's a shame, because this had potential and could've easily worked in the hands of any other capable filmmaker, especially considering the decent casting. It's a generous 4/10 from me.

In this movie, former U. S. Marine William Duncan (Clive Standen) strikes back at the thugs who murdered his daughter and therefore provoking a cycle of violence. A revenge movie in which Bruce Willis (Donnie Fetter) plays (again) a crime boss who orders his loose-cannon son Theo Rossi (Rory) to clean up the mess. Another boring Bruce Willis movie, whose unfocussed and empty performance is really hard to watch after the news of his Aphasia diagnosis. Bruce spends most of his scenes sitting behind a desk and you can see he is struggling with his dialogue. Heart-breaking! The good news is we have Thomas Jane playing an arms dealer and Mike Tyson playing the leader of a gang and dealing stolen cars. If you like to see Thomas Jane (and he is really outperforming here) smoking a pipe and always drinking a bottle of beer, this movie is for you. Mike´s role was very small but he passed with flying colours!

This is basically just a rip off of James Wan's death sentence. Death sentence is wayyyy better, if you haven't seen it skip this and just watch death sentence.

Literally - the script is unbelievably stupid, filled with illogical actions and idiotic characters. I couldn't even comprehend how a screenplay this bad could get past the usual phalanx of development execs, producers, agents, actors and at least one director a script usually needs to please to get made. Then I checked the credits and discovered that the writer was also the director and he cranks out half-a-dozen of these crapfests every year - a bad case of cinematic diarrhea.

So I guess he doesn't have time to watch Cops or otherwise figure out how police operate in the real world or how real gangsters handle their business.

Nothing in this movie rings true. It's just a series of dumb and dumber scenes designed to accommodate a bunch of gunfire and martial arts shenanigans.

To be fair, the film looks pretty good. The cinematography is very nice and the actors give it their all. Unfortunately, for many - including the bigger name actors in this mess - that amounts to the level of thespianism usually reached by stunt men cast to pad the ranks of the bad guys in B movies. Stiff, shallow, overwrought characterizations.

Bad acting, a ridiculous script with not a drop of suspense or a single character you care about. Braindead fun for the feeble-minded.

If you dont laugh at least 3 times I'd be shocked. This has to be a joke.

The dialog had to be written by a child.

Who would make this movie?

Perhaps some favors were cashed in.

At this point I believe Bruce Willis is taking roles that Nic Cage knew were really bad.

I actually like the main actor. Not sure if I remember him from other movies.

Tysons cameo was good but it was what it was.

Maybe an AI Computer spit this out because there is NOTHING WHATSOEVER original in this film other than the bad dialog. Maybe it's a throwback to cheesy 90s movies? You knew what was going to happen from start to middle to end.

I actually recommend you watch this because you will NOT believe how bad the dialog is. Seriously.
