Représailles

Frank Grillo plays Jacob an unlikely bank manager. His bank is hit by a sole bank robber who is on a robbing spree. A security guard is killed and in the mayhem the robber disappears.

The robber is stealing money supposedly to help out his ill father living in a care home. The audience does not give a damn as he brutally killed other hard working people.

Jacob and his next door neighbour who is an ex-cop, James (Bruce Willis) try to track down the robber before his next heist. When Jacob gets in the robber's way, the stakes become more personal.

This is a dull movie, badly written, the action scenes are lame and with terrible incidental music. It is really a cheapo B movie with a cameo by Willis because he is probably on his $1 million a day deal.

Normally i avoid the current Bruce Willis films. Of lately Willis is jus doing horrible cameo appearances in horrible films n his photos r all over the dvd covers including his name n glimpes of him in the trailers. Coming to the film, the synopsis, the cast n trailer was good but the film was terrible. The villain Johnathon Schaech is shown attending to his old dad who's a decorated veteran, Schaech's repeated dialogue regarding an eye for an eye n his facial expressions conveyed that our villain might be doing the heist for some vengeance but alas the heist, the action and the end was meh. Also when Frank Grillo discusses with Willis about the robber, Willis' face and body language looked as if Willis knows about the heist n the robber...... Wait, i dont want anybody else to waste their time in seein this awful film.

I liked that it was filmed in Cincinnati. Otherwise, it was very odd. I'm glad that Tubi, the free streaming site, now has theater quality films. Most Tubi films are the no-budget stinkers, which are truly unwatchable. This was a real movie, not just something made in someone's backyard. Still, it was a very odd film; which didn't even try to seem real.

Ok, terrible camera work but it was mixed well. Let's face it, we are in an age of two types of movies, super budget and lower budget. There are thousands of lower budget movies and many on and Netflix are simply casual movies. This is a causal movie with mistakes and issues but it's not awful. Bruce was Bruce, there were good shoot outs and it was perfect to watch while working.

Not worth the computer or the handycam it was written on. Having said that there is only one way from here on. Very hard to try to figure out how something like this could have come to be - like "he can't need money that badly - like set up a go fund me account and ask for 10 cents instead of scamming your fans"
