Marauders

I was a little nervous going into this movie after reading all the reviews (largely negative), but was pleasantly surprised. OK, there was some bad acting on Bruce Willis' part but other members of the cast; Christopher Meloni, Dave Bautista et al made up for it. It was a great story with a good twist at the end. If you're a movie "sommelier" analyzing films for cinematography, acting etc... then you'll walk away with your nose in the air but if, like most people, you don't really care about the legs or the bouquet of your wine, you'll enjoy watching this. I don't normally bother writing reviews for movies but felt this movie was unfairly reviewed.

Not a movie buff but since I live in the Cincinnati area I wanted to see this one. Enjoyed it. Could tell it wasn't a big budget movie but with the stars that were in it I thought it played out well. It kept me interested which is hard to do.

A good action movie, sure the acting could have been better, but what it lacks in acting drama, it compensate with good action.

Christopher Meloni dominates the role, and Dave Bautista adds that humor to the whole film.

the story-line was intriguing, something you couldn't see from a mile away.

the action scene were well choreographed, the bank robber had a great appeal to them.

the movie had a sense of direction which is brilliant.

All in All, an action movie lover's treat!

Why the low score? Vastly underrated on all accounts.

A fast pace with intelligent discourse and low key excellent acting, intriguingly complex characters and a plot than unravels perhaps too close for some peoples comfort.

Anyone with a genuine interest of well produced, clever, politically inclined police-thrillers and a generally solid judgment would rate this film significantly higher than its current received score.

The word "conspiracy" even mentioned in the real world triggers emotional fears and cognitive programming enough to blocks people from logic and from following genuine evidence. Perhaps films that picture the conspiracies in a realistic way run the risk of revealing reality without its mask of sanity?

Watch and enjoy!

It's one of those movies that Bruce Willis is "staring" in. His face is all over the poster. Too bad he's not in the movie as much. He took a paycheck for 2 weeks of work and 20mins of screen time.

I would think that having Christopher Meloni, Dave Bautista, and Adrian Grenier in the movie would be enough to attract attention, but I guess it's not enough to get the movie in the theaters.

Meloni leads the cast as an FBI agent searching for some bank robbers that seem focus on steeling money from Bruce Willis, who owns the banks they been targeting.

Bautista and Grenier are on Meloni's team as they investigate a tangled web of corruption from the bank, local law enforcement and even the military.

It's a compelling thriller that keeps moving despite all the obstacles in Meloni's way.

If you were a fan of Meloni back when he was on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit than you'll love this movie.

Especially with the great Dave Bautista as his partner. It's mostly him talking but he gets to do a little action as well.

It was a good role for Adrian Grenier. He plays a rookie fed who's given a hard time by Bautista, but slowly shows them just how bad ass he really is.

The only problem with the story is that it is too complicated. In their attempt to be smart they just end up being confusing with a story with far too many sub sub stories that get all jumbled together.

Overall, however the movie works with some standout characters played by some well known actors that keep you focus.

Definitely a good watch.
