Corrective Measures - Fuga da Prisão

I watched this movie on the same day I watched Ambulance and The Northman, this one turned out to be the most entertaining regardless of the fact it's budget was a small fraction of the other two.

It had an interesting story with a blurred line between heroes and villains' and didn't try to pretend to be something it isn't. It was just a basic action movie with criminals having special superpowers and a nice little twist at the end. What I enjoyed the most was seeing Michael Rooker getting a decent role and carrying the movie.

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.

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.

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.

One of Bruce Willis LAST movies he will EVER make, because Bruce is retiring from acting, due to severe bad health, because he is suffering from a neurological disease which affects his speech and facial expressions. Really tragic!

I have watched EVERY movie Bruce Willis was starring in. I keep hoping, I really do, that some director, some producer, has got the wisdom to recognize what a great actor Bruce Willis is and make a better picture than this one.

BUT... unfortunately Bruce Willis is (by contractual obligations) restricted to only work with these inferior directors and producers, who dont give him the room to show his real talents.

You already guessed it, this is another flop in which Bruce is only starring in, due to contractual obligations. The man has got to pay the bills for his many ex-wives! I can understand that!

Not any good? NO. Sorry, I must be honest about this. There are several less terrible movies that he starred in recently. And mind you, Bruce has been starring in 5-10 movies A YEAR. That's mindboggling to think of. You might now better understand why this aint gonna be a quality action movie.

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 as well, so I have heard...

DIE HARD (1988) NEVER DIES but is still ALIVE AND KICKING in 2022. Let's celebrate that.
