Corrective Measures

It's a low budget film with Bruce Willis topping the casting we've seen that a lot over the past twelve months. Usually the films are out right terrible (with a couple of watchable exceptions) so the bar is low. In this one Bruce is really in the background but notabley there is a plot here and solid acting backed up by decent special effects. It's far from a top movie but I'm glad Willis has ended his career with a slight uptick in quality after his last few disasters.

A futuristic prison encounter which is just about worth the time investment.

Okay first off, they need to stop embellishing these movie covers with actors like Bruce Willis as if they're the main star. All of his recent movies are like this. He's the main face on picture but he's barely in it. I've noticed this being done with Liam Neeson too.

Second, and my main complaint is, how over the top Kat Ruston is in her "tough girl" role. I lost interest whenever she was overacting. If she had just played her role better this movie would be 2 stars higher on my rating scale. Dan Payne was also a little over the top as well. Its like he was out of a comic book. Overall would not watch this again or suggest it to anyone. Definitely a background movie or something for the patients at the office.

Just when you think you've seen the last of the Bruce Willis movies another POP UP, he must have made a boatload of these Class D movies before he decided to retire. This movie was or is a real freak show filled with Meta-Human Rejects from the Metaverse. This is one of those movies you have to see to believe, then you wish you had done laundry instead, or wash the car. But hay, Bruce keeps trying to find one that takes back to his Die Heart Days.

This is another one of those movies, you sit and watch a rainy afternoon, when you are looking for a distraction from the weather, or you want something, any thing to make noise in an otherwise quiet house. Good Luck with this puppy. It's outta step and outta time.

I have to admit that when I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "Corrective Measures", I figured that this was just yet another mass produced shoddy movie with Bruce Willis. Yeah, his track record haven't really been all that great these past few years. Yet, I hadn't already seen "Corrective Measures", so of course I found the time to watch it.

The storyline, as written by Sean Patrick O'Reilly and Grant Chastain, was fair enough. Sure, this wasn't top notch entertainment, but actually "Corrective Measures" was enjoyable enough for what it was. And there were some aspects to the storyline that worked out better than others, of course. I will say that I found the prison facility for super powered inmates to be interesting. It wasn't a new concept, but still interesting enough.

"Corrective Measures" is watchable for a single viewing, as the storyline is pretty simplistic and requires no thinking or involvement from the audience. You simply just grab your snacks or beverage and lean back in the seat and watch the movie.

The movie as actually had a good cast ensemble, I will give it that much. I was especially thrilled to see Tom Cavanagh in the movie, as he brought so much charisma and flavor to the movie. Michael Rooker was also nicely cast for the movie. And in all honesty, then this movie was actually a step up for Bruce Willis, in comparison to the many shoddy and questionable movies recently.

Visually then "Corrective Measures" was okay. The movie would have benefitted somewhat from a more extensive usage and display of CGI and special effects, especially since the movie was did revolve around incarcerated people with super powers.

My rating of director Sean Patrick O'Reilly's 2022 movie "Corrective Measures" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

Sad because it was boring and sad because it will be one of Bruce's last movies. I hate to think many will judge him on this movie and others like it. He doesn't have much of a part in it but he does well for what he has to work with. I actually found myself nodding off several times. That in itself is sad for a so-called action movie.
