This is basically just a rip off of James Wan's death sentence. Death sentence is wayyyy better, if you haven't seen it skip this and just watch death sentence.
I believe this is Bruce Willis final film, like many others I've watched his recent glut of films over the last eighteen months literally stunned at how bad most of them are with only a couple barely ok. For what it's worth this is probably one of the better ones but it still has a lot of problems. Here we see Willis, along with Thomas Jane relegated to the role of interesting background character, both do a relatively ok job considering what they have to work with. The plot itself is a rehash of other revenge type films where a lead has a loved one killed them sets out to take revenge on a criminal organisation. Oh and said lead just happens to be a well trained military person.
The problem here is there are huge plot holes everywhere, it literally takes place in small town America in place which is very clean and clearly affluent yet we are led to believe there are armed gangs of drug dealers running around. This same gang require new members to kill innocents as part of their initiation too, yet whilst doing this there are zero people around in the middle of the day on the main high street? Seriously thought this up? Then we learn the local cops (all four of them) know they are selling drugs but turn a blind eye, yet they leave a protection duty because a kid throws something at their patrol car. This is where what could be a relatively fun revenge movie packed with a number of recognisable faces falls very flat. It's probably just about watchable if you want to see every Willis movie but the plot holes need some excusing.

If you dont laugh at least 3 times I'd be shocked. This has to be a joke.
The dialog had to be written by a child.
Who would make this movie?
Perhaps some favors were cashed in.
At this point I believe Bruce Willis is taking roles that Nic Cage knew were really bad.
I actually like the main actor. Not sure if I remember him from other movies.
Tysons cameo was good but it was what it was.
Maybe an AI Computer spit this out because there is NOTHING WHATSOEVER original in this film other than the bad dialog. Maybe it's a throwback to cheesy 90s movies? You knew what was going to happen from start to middle to end.
I actually recommend you watch this because you will NOT believe how bad the dialog is. Seriously.

Well with the Bruce Willis films winding down Im still seeing what work he has just done. This one is called Vendetta and it also stars Mike Tyson and Thomas Jane.
And the thing is...its not that bad really. I mean its far from great but its the best film Bruce Willis has been in in years. I give it a 5/10. Most of his newest films I gave a 1 to 3 rating. Its a basic vigilante film much in the spirt of Death Wish. A young girl is murdered by a gang member and her father decides to kill him instead of testifying against him. That gets the whole gang angry and they go after him.

But for Jared Cohn, an experienced writer and director to give us this nonsense, is inexcusable. The writing was worse than a 5th grade drama class would present. This was such a plot-hole riddled lazily written bag full of cliches, it was cringe. Then he had his actors pretty much acting like clowns, I couldn't take Mr. Smiley and Pipe Smoker seriously. It's a shame, because this had potential and could've easily worked in the hands of any other capable filmmaker, especially considering the decent casting. It's a generous 4/10 from me.
