Can't blame Bruce Willis.
Can't blame him. I am willing to bet Bruce knew about his diagnosis as early as mid 2020, when he started making movies like crazy. 8 premiered in 2021 and 11 in 2022! That is pretty much a movie per month. He wanted to rack up as much money as possible, which is understandable, but that also goes to the detriment in the quality of his work. This movie being a perfect example. The writing didn't help either: After Conner kills one of the city's kingpin's thugs in the morning, internal affairs opens an investigation, suspends Conner, who goes home to his wife, they go out shopping, meanwhile the drug lord kills Conner's parolee, identifies and organizes the kidnapping of his wife. He goes over to his brother's house, has a long talk and a few beers with him, then all of a sudden the team of guilt-ridden, SWAT-turned-mercenaries is reunited and fully armed; they organize a heist to steal money from a drug gang (with blueprints gotten from city council) and perform it. All of this in less than 8 hours. The only thing that can make it interesting to watch, is to count how many continuity errors and plot holes you can find. - Guus004 - 19 November 2022
Good action movie
This movie show how things can go quickly wrong on the streets. Many good gun battles. Bruce Willis gives an excellent performance as a bad guy. The action is fast pace and non stop. Also the star drives a nice muscle car. No EVs here.
The drug lords henchmen are also particularly nasty giving the movie a very raw edge. The ending of "living happily ever after" was a bit much but that is only one ordinary point in a good movie.
The beginning of the movie give a good setting and context for the rest of the show with a massive shot out and explosions that leave many dead. Also shows how cops get it so wrong just like real life.
