Featured reviews
However, I still opted to watch what writer Brandon Stiefer and director Matt Eskandari had to offer, on the account of "Wire Room" being a movie that I hadn't already seen. And with "Wire Room" also being the last movie to be made by Bruce Willis, of course there was an interest to see what manner of style he would wrap up his career with.
The storyline in "Wire Room", as written by Brandon Stiefer, was actually adequate enough. I mean, it wasn't the most exciting of action thrillers, but it was adequate enough for a single viewing. The storyline was pretty straight forward, if not actually generic, actually.
The acting in "Wire Room" was adequate, and especially Oliver Trevena (playing Eddie Flynn) stole the attention on the screen with his performance.
All in all, then "Wire Room" was an adequate enough movie, though you shouldn't be expecting anything over-the-top or grand here. A sort of bland farewell to acting from Bruce Willis.
My rating of "Wire Room" lands on a five out of ten stars.
Director Matt Eskandari offers a bland, flawed fizzled-out film littered with continuity errors and editing issues.
Thankfully reliable Kevin Dillon breathes life into Brandon Stiefer screenplay, along with Rhyan D'Errico's music. Bruce Willis does his hardest to lift the stilted low budget offering above the likes of Anna Nicole Smiths' Die Hard rip off Skyscraper (1996).
What could have been in the vein of The Phone Booth, Enemy of the State, Rear Window is so hack-handled and budget tied that it offers nothing of merit aside from CGI blood, smoke and gunshots.
Sadly, only worth viewing for Dillion and Willis.
The brother of actor Matt Dillon, (Kevin Dillon) is the real leading actor in this movie and just as his more famous brother he is kinda goofy, but still a reasonably decent B-movie actor.
The good: there is contineous suspense. I have seen a lot of B-movies, some of them terrible, but this one actually has got some spark and punch.
It aint boring for sure. Lots of shootouts. LOTS. And I did wanted to know how it all end.
The story: Kevin Dillon has got a new job at a wire room, in which the FBI monitors criminals through wiretapping and hidden cameras. All hell breaks loose when there is a mole inside the FBI. Everybody wants to kill the other side. Shootouts till the very end!

- GoofsIn the safe opening scene, Kevin Dillon's pistol alternates between the slide being forward and the slide being locked back- hence, empty.

Eddie Flynn: You're gonna help me get out of here alive. And then I'm gonna pull a Keyser Soze, ride into the sunset.
