Deadlock

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.

Probably the worst plot and dialog I've seen in the past decade. Any episode of T. J. Hooker is far better than this tripe- and mercifully shorter.

As the algorithm requires 150 characters I will list things I would rather do than watch this movie again: 1) a root canal without anesthesia, 2) clean out porta-johns, 3) invest in a pyramid scheme, 4) soak in a tub of ice water for an hour.

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!

Deadlock is an action thriller about mercenaries that seize an energy plant and hold everyone hostage. Ron Whitlock (Bruce Willis) is a wanted criminal leading a team of mercenaries on a mission of vengeance. Bruce Willis keeps the legacy of producing bad films. 'Deadlock' is nothing more than a cliche all the way. The storyline is predictable, the cast falters and there are no prizes for predicting an end that is distinctly clear right from the start. Bruce Willis in this age plays a baddie when he can hardly get off the toilet. The cast plays their bit-part roles, but it isn't enough to lend any depth to the film. I would recommend catching up on some other decent flick instead of this damp squib.

Bruce Willis is lending his name to many B movies these days. Does he need the money ? Why, Bruce, why ?

This movie is badly acted, the script is weak, the actors have very little talent and the shaky camera is not helping. I gave it a 4 star for effort but that is generous.
