Représailles

So, I saw all the bad reviews, but I still went to see it. I'm a fan of Bruce Willis I figured it cant be that bad. I'm not sure why this movie was made, weak plot, horrible acting by everyone. The whole movie just didn't work. ,it was so bad that a few people actually walked out, I even left just after the big shoot out. weather it was the end or not. It was almost painful to watch.

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.

Although these types of stories have been overly done, I still enjoy watching them. This one could have been much better if only director Brian A. Miller knew how to direct.

For starters, he needs to invest in a tripod or something, as the shaky-cam and blurred filming gave me a headache.

To make matters worse, that annoying score was way too loud, it actually muffled some of the scenes dialogue - pretty much can't get any more amateur than that, and considering this isn't Miller's first film, it's a huge oversight, not to mention the score was just too 1980's and out of place in most scenes.

Now the writing by Bryce Hammons was just as terrible, with some scenes that just didn't make sense, as well as major plot issues, BUT, I am more forgiving towards him as he is a rookie writer with this film being only his second. I've also seen much worse writing from more seasoned writers.

The acting from all cast was actually not bad considering it seemed the director could have directed his cast better, but was probably too busy looking for that tripod. Frank Grillo and Johnathon Schaech performed well, and surprisingly so did Bruce Willis. He's been pretty annoying and bad in his latest films, so this one was a few notches up.

If you have nothing better to watch and can get past the annoying score, bad camera work and plot issues, this film is not all that bad. It's an honest 6/10 from me.

Bruce was the reason i said lemme check this out and i think thats my biggest movie regret or close to it. Poor acting, characters didn't allow me to feel any form of reality, the mother show very little emotions when her only daughter having a seizure. Bruce must have been very idle, the story was predictable and lame, am not sure where the conflict started, not sure why the robber continue to say a life for a life as if some vendetta is at play.. im truly hurt this movie is the worst!!!!

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"
