"Deadlock" tells the story of Ron Whitlock (Bruce Willis), a wanted criminal, leading a team of mercenaries on a mission of vengeance. The ruthless group brutally seizes an energy plant and holds everyone inside hostage. Retired army ranger Mack Karr (Patrick Muldoon) has to save the day. The action scenes are ample but not thrilling. The storyline is very predictable and the acting performance of Bruce is again under par. I still don´t get it. It really looks like Bruce is forced to act. He just seems burnt out. On the other hand, I liked the performance of Patrick Muldoon (Mack). At least one good actor in an $11,000,000 budget movie. Don´t waste your time! Skip this movie.

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.

Before I checked, I assumed this was directed by some amateur unexperienced young filmmaker - or a high school drama class, and was shocked to find out that Jared Cohn has 47 directorial credits and 20 writing credits under his belt. It was so horribly directed in every aspect - from poorly executed scenes, transitions, and camera angles, with prop and set mistakes, massive incohesive and illogical plot and structure issues, failure to direct his cast, etc. This felt like a 1980's amatuer camcorder production. And the flaws are so obvious, a little effort would've gone a long way. Even the use of actual Katrina disaster clips were poorly edited in.

The screenplay (jointly written by Cam Cannon and Cohn) bounced all over the place with scenes in and out of nowhere, and the first half was convoluted in the poor attempt to create some plot twists, which even when they become evident, there's many bits and pieces missing. Most of the dialogue will make you shake your head and/or cringe. However, the use of a hydroelectric dam as the main setting for this crime thriller was well conceived and utilized, and I'm sure helped maintain the film's low budget. But the entire "payback" premise of the dam was far fetched and a cringeworthy attempt to piggy-back the Katrina disaster.

Casting and performances were ok for the most part, but very evident many actors much-needed at least some direction from Cohn. Willis' performance was actually one of his better, in his usual monthly b-film showcase appearances. Patrick Muldoon, Chris Cleveland and Ava Paloma were the only actors close to being convincing in their characters, although Douglas Matthews was on point as the comic-relief. The score wasn't bad, and even though the pacing was decent, the 97 min runtime could've used some trimming.

Nevertheless, I finished the film, and wasn't disappointed I watched it, especially since I had nothing better to do. It's a generous 5/10 from me.

Great gig if you can get it. Show up on B movie set for a day or two. Utter a few lines, sit on the toilet a while and get a large paycheck.

Willis is obviously on a long money train, doing everything and anything no matter how degrading, no matter how humiliating, no matter how disgracefully bad to get paid.

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.

Can't believe there are 2 people that actually gave this a 10/10 stars and one person gave it a 7/10. Assuming those three people are either involved in the film in some way or related to someone, because there is no way this deserves higher than 4 stars.

The action is so unbelievable. Bad guys run out in the open, don't even raise weapons, just so they can get shot. One point the hero slides 50+ feet down a rope, loses grip, grabs onto stairs, while bad guys walks down stairs with a gun, gets right next to him, just so the hero can punch him and yes knock him out with one off balance punch. Bad guy didn't even raise gun, warn him, or anything, just walked up to get punched out. Then the hero goes into room, proceeds to get another bad guy in choke hold, shoots the other two bad guys in the room, then shoots the bad guy he's holding in the head without concern the bullet should've gone through the head & into the arm he was using to hold him.

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

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!

Another pointless movie, with bad script, bad acting and shaky camera... Im starting to miss the B movies of the 90's. At least they mostly managed to hold the camera steady.

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.

Here we go again, I am sick and tired of seeing one guy who saves the day. Our hero kills nearly all the bad guys. So many times they had an opportunity to kill him but nooooooo.

Oh boy, it was bad. Full action, somewhat otherwise an interesting movie but this stupid formula has to end!

And that flood... they should have use a better footage.

If a city got flooded without any warning there would be panic all over, no one would walk through the flooded streets like it was normal.

Okay, let's be honest, Bruce Willis is making 9 movies in 2021, some of these arent the best of the best. Unfortunately this is one of them. But, the jokes are back in this movie. That's fun.

Interesting: Bruce Willis plays a baddie this time. That's new.

Unfortunately, Bruce hasnt got the screentime we all wished for. We want to see him more, but when you make 9 movies a year, time is of the essence.

Not the best, but not the worst either.

At an (excrucially) important sidenote, let us not forget WHY we are watching Bruce Willis movies to begin with. We watch Bruce Willis movies because of DIE HARD (1988). THE ONE AND ONLY BIGGEST ACTION AMERICAN ACTION CLASSIC OF THE CENTURY.

This classic is still standing strong after more than 30 years. Millions of people still REwatch it during every Christmas holiday. Recently a petition was launched to rename Nakatomi Plaza into DIE HARD plaza.

A life time achievement award for Bruce Willis is in the making.

DIE HARD (1988) NEVER DIES but is still ALIVE AND KICKING IN 2022. Happy New Year!

DEADLOCK is very entertaining and exciting to watch! Lots of action throughout, intriguing story, and depth to each of the characters. There is TONS of action/gunfire scenes, some comic relief, and emotionally triggering spots as well. It differs from other movies starring Bruce Willis, as his character is not who you think he may turn out to be. The other actors in this movie give excellent performances as well, blending the plot altogether. Definitely worth the watch, and will watch again!! 5 STARS!

Everything is wrong with this movie. At least they didnt claim to loop the security cameras. Much easier ignoring they show anything around a supposedly high security. Want to mention I've never seen a movie grind to a halt so two rangers could argue the importance of their enlistment oaths. Am I the only one offended by the costumer dressing Willis in an Arab scarf because that is supposed scream terrorist? I want to nominate the line "...Otherwise the whole dam might be underwater" for the stupidest thing ever said in a feature movie. Lastly, where would you guess operations office is that independently is contacted to open flood gates? Seems that's the place the bad guys should have attacked.

What a mediocre movie A poor story line below average Directing comedic one liners no concept to give any basis to the weak story . Lots of guns shooting zzzzzzzzz.

I have this ugly feeling that last several years I saw the actor in (mostly) bad action, sometimes SciFi movies. I'm convinced he can so better then, now a "dead-loop" series of misses. Maybe his and agent's character choice wasn't good. But after some legendary protagonist characters (some time ago though, mostly in Die Hard series), I don't know...

Movie itself followed a narrow storyline with not too much to tell. I'll actually just bottom it with too much of shooting over cliche core - "difficult directorship indeed".

Same story core in another approach could be a goldmine. But, no: let's stick to the 'same old - same old'... What a waste.

I've committed to watch every low budget film that Bruno makes. Muldoon was terrible in this film, and I like the man as an actor. The project lacked the usual co-stars like Lydia Hall, Chad Michael Murray, etc that Bruno usually works with.

Felt like this was shot in about 15-20 days.

I had much higher expectations considering Bruce Willis was in this film. I had questionable doubts when they movie was only priced 9.99. It without a doubt wasn't even worth that. I wonder if he watched this movie after filming and instantly regretted it. Sorry not sorry Bruce you're so much better than this C roll film. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

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.

I love this guy's movies man. Well, the old ones that is.

But after so many disappointments from his latest movies, I have this algorithm for deciding to watch his movies or not (written in the title of this review).

So, YES, I haven't watch this movie.

Its so painful tho watch someone you adore play such terrible movie.

Please oh please someone tell Wilis that this has to STOP!

Bruce Willis is remaking Die Hard but he is the bad guy this time. I have seen worse. Seeing that he is having to retire now for health reasons, he is starting to take more subdued roles like Steven Seagal is. Job well done Bruce. Best wishes.

No build up zero character development save you time and watch something else. Watched it for Bruce and wish I didn't and don't get me started on the music.
