Wire Room

While on wire room duty, a federal agent helps out the target he's monitoring when they are attacked.

Director Matt Eskandari offers a bland, flawed fizzled-out film littered with continuity errors and editing issues.

Thankfully reliable Kevin Dillon breathes life into Brandon Stiefer screenplay, along with Rhyan D'Errico's music. Bruce Willis does his hardest to lift the stilted low budget offering above the likes of Anna Nicole Smiths' Die Hard rip off Skyscraper (1996).

What could have been in the vein of The Phone Booth, Enemy of the State, Rear Window is so hack-handled and budget tied that it offers nothing of merit aside from CGI blood, smoke and gunshots.

Sadly, only worth viewing for Dillion and Willis.

NOT a Bruce Willis movie, because the guy is only starring in it for less than 15 minutes in total and in only in a small supporting role. But it is always nice to see Bruce on screen in one of his very last roles, because he is suffering from a neurological disease. So let's enjoy Bruce Willis while we still can!

The brother of actor Matt Dillon, (Kevin Dillon) is the real leading actor in this movie and just as his more famous brother he is kinda goofy, but still a reasonably decent B-movie actor.

The good: there is contineous suspense. I have seen a lot of B-movies, some of them terrible, but this one actually has got some spark and punch.

It aint boring for sure. Lots of shootouts. LOTS. And I did wanted to know how it all end.

The story: Kevin Dillon has got a new job at a wire room, in which the FBI monitors criminals through wiretapping and hidden cameras. All hell breaks loose when there is a mole inside the FBI. Everybody wants to kill the other side. Shootouts till the very end!

I've seen better writing and directing from a fifth grade drama class. There were more holes in the writing than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and just as much nonsense dialogue. The same lame ariel buildings shot was used over and over, the shotgun shells were in a box of Co2 cartridges, and all these bad guys can't find one guy yelling an screaming in a small house... just some of the lazy writing and sloppy directing on display in this mess. I actually feel bad for Dillon and Willis taking these roles produced by the "another failed production" duo Emmett and Furla, who must need one huge heck of a tax write-off or involved in a pyramid scheme to get funding for all their flop productions. It's a generous 2/10 from me.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action thriller "Wire Room", I must admit that I wasn't really expecting this movie to be a particular blast of a movie. Why? Well, given the recent years string of direct-to-video releases from Bruce Willis, then I didn't keep any hopes up.

However, I still opted to watch what writer Brandon Stiefer and director Matt Eskandari had to offer, on the account of "Wire Room" being a movie that I hadn't already seen. And with "Wire Room" also being the last movie to be made by Bruce Willis, of course there was an interest to see what manner of style he would wrap up his career with.

The storyline in "Wire Room", as written by Brandon Stiefer, was actually adequate enough. I mean, it wasn't the most exciting of action thrillers, but it was adequate enough for a single viewing. The storyline was pretty straight forward, if not actually generic, actually.

The acting in "Wire Room" was adequate, and especially Oliver Trevena (playing Eddie Flynn) stole the attention on the screen with his performance.

All in all, then "Wire Room" was an adequate enough movie, though you shouldn't be expecting anything over-the-top or grand here. A sort of bland farewell to acting from Bruce Willis.

My rating of "Wire Room" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The script is so bad, Bruce doesn't even bother to get off the couch for his scenes. He just reads his lines, collects his check, and walks away in shame.

This entire movie was filmed in a single afternoon, and they didn't even need a wardrobe...everyone just showed up in whatever they were already wearing. They even used a back-alley vagrant to play the part of the villian.

The crux of the story revolves around a swiveling office chair. They spent weeks trying to find the perfect fit for Mr. Dillon's behind. Kevin is still waiting for his entourage to show up and save him from this atrocity.
