Deadlock

I have been a BW fan for years, however the last few years have not been good for Bruce and he seems to be churning out B/C movies by the dozen. This is another done to a well known formula, that unfortunately lacks any redeeming factors, Bruce spends most of the Movie in a seated position and acting like he doesn't want to be there, he has made some good movies in the past but it seems he Does care anymore , which is a real shame for someone that was so engaging in the past. Trust me missing this movie misses nothing.

The 'hero' never reloads his weapon! And he never grabs the weapon(s) of the bad guys he kills. Bad guys flood the town and no one bothers to investigate why the dam's floodgates are being opened?? Hero bursts into room where BW and one last bad guy are. BW is seated, vulnerable. Last bad guy has weapon drawn. Does hero shoot that dude and then BW? Nope! Hero (who has witnessed BW kill hostages) tries to talk BW into abandoning his plan. "C'mon man.....you know this ain't right...." Oh, and nice CGI blood on BW at the end.

Can't believe there are 2 people that actually gave this a 10/10 stars and one person gave it a 7/10. Assuming those three people are either involved in the film in some way or related to someone, because there is no way this deserves higher than 4 stars. The action is so unbelievable. Bad guys run out in the open, don't even raise weapons, just so they can get shot. One point the hero slides 50+ feet down a rope, loses grip, grabs onto stairs, while bad guys walks down stairs with a gun, gets right next to him, just so the hero can punch him and yes knock him out with one off balance punch. Bad guy didn't even raise gun, warn him, or anything, just walked up to get punched out. Then the hero goes into room, proceeds to get another bad guy in choke hold, shoots the other two bad guys in the room, then shoots the bad guy he's holding in the head without concern the bullet should've gone through the head & into the arm he was using to hold him. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Oh my, what a terrible movie. With some big names I expected more. This was a big waste of time. A really bad plot, super bad filming, and I could go on.

There's a list of actors that have never really had any box office smashes or record breaking films but they did pump out a few goodies, now they have taken what ever respect they used to have and simply thrown it in the bin for rodents to feed on! They don't care what they act in, long as the bills are paid and they are not phased by what gets said or what the ratings are because they've never really had a sterling acting career. So why bother now! These days, I just come here for the comments and ratings reviews, they are hilarious!

Everything is wrong with this movie. At least they didnt claim to loop the security cameras. Much easier ignoring they show anything around a supposedly high security. Want to mention I've never seen a movie grind to a halt so two rangers could argue the importance of their enlistment oaths. Am I the only one offended by the costumer dressing Willis in an Arab scarf because that is supposed scream terrorist? I want to nominate the line "...Otherwise the whole dam might be underwater" for the stupidest thing ever said in a feature movie. Lastly, where would you guess operations office is that independently is contacted to open flood gates? Seems that's the place the bad guys should have attacked.

Thank you Bruce Willis for motivating me to write my first review. Absolutely terrible Story and directing. Bruce Willis might have been able to save the movie. Unfortunately Brucey babe was unable to mask his contempt, and looked bored in all of the scenes he was included in.

If you play first person shooter games, i can summarize this for you : The main character is playing "rescue the VIPs" in Counter Strike using an aimbot. His teammates went rogue and are trying to kill him. (not sure how, because everytime they find him, they do anything but shoot him). There is a story behind all this. Not sure if anyone will care too much, because is not that original. The flood footage is just dumb, and badly put in scene. The fight scenes are hard to follow. Seems like the cameracam didnt have access to a tripod or any kind of stabilization. (or perhaps it on purpose to hide bad choreography) Oh, Bruce Willis tries to do some acting. Not sure if willingly. I gave this 5 stars just because it kept me entertained. It is kind of fun trying to figure out if Willis is acting, or having a stroke. His work has become cringeworthy, which in itself is not a completely bad thing :-)

One of the worst movies I had ever seen. The story is so simple with the plot, protagonist aura, no highlights, distorted values,. Confused reasons...... just a business one.
