Wire Room - Sorvegliato speciale

I agree that Wire Room isn't a good movie by any objective standards. Like most, if not all, of Willis latest movies it is a rather cheap straight-to-DVD movie. It's easy to assume that Willis just showed up to grab the pay check.

But regarding all his movies since 2019/20 it is important to recognize the following: Earlier in 2022 Willis announced to end his acting career after he and his family made public that he suffers from aphasia, which is a brain disorder that can affect a person's ability to speak, listen, read and write. Obviously, this heavily affects his ability to act, remember lines and interact with other actors. This was probably also the reason why he didn't have much screentime in his last big movie, Glass, after the first act.

This puts things into a totally different perspective.

As far as I know Willis is financially secured, he didn't need to do it for the money. He kept starring in movies because he just LOVED making them, being on set and being part of the collaborative effort to create a movie.

It is easy to dismiss Willis' latest efforts as bad movies, they mostly are, but considering his condition offers a different perspective. "Wire Room" will most likely be one of his last movies, his very last movie will probably be "Paradise City" (currently in post-production) in which he worked alongside John Travolta one last time.

Instead of focusing on his last movies, we should celebrate and honor Bruce Willis for all his great work and the impact he had on the whole movie industry in over 40 years.

Thank you for all the amazing cinematic experiences you have given us over the last decades, Mr. Willis. I wish you and your family all the best.

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.

I made an IMDB account just to review this movie. It is by far the absolute worst acting I have ever seen in my life. Bruce Willis put absolutely no effort into his part. Kevin Dillon doesn't play his part well. It's basically like they're reading straight off the script. Super amateur & monotone. There's honestly nothing positive to say at all. Script, acting, and camera work are so far below par I'm suprised they even released the movie after watching it. I really thought it had to be a spoof at first because of how gosh awful the acting was, but nope. Just a terrible movie all the way around. Do not waste your time.

What a bore fest of incoherent story telling. Bruce Willis truly has lost all the spark which once made his name valuable, he just regurgitates his spoon fed lines with no emotion whatsoever. The film is boring and the action sequences are somehow tedius, its the same camera shot repeated half the time. The overall story is absolutely boring as well, it's literally a guy who sits in a security room watching another guy in a house for the entire film. And top it all off, the big Bad guy, only ends up having around 30 seconds screen time. And just when you think this tedious mess is over, you are then left with an open end which means they might be planning a sequel.

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.
