Bajo vigilancia

The movie is made so cheaply... There is CGI everywhere, even the gunshots aren't real. The total damage throughout the whole film is one or two cardboard boxes. There are almost no explosions, definitely no car crashes, no spectacular chases. The whole movie is set in a huge skyscraper which is always empty - there are no passers by, no white collar workers, just some security guards and the Wire Room staff consisting of 3 people. Every scene with the building looks weird because it looks as if it was suddenly abandoned by everybody. The villain acts ridiculously all the time, so you can grind your teeth with frustration while watching him. The whole story is really simple and could be easily packed into a 15-minute clip. The thing that triggered me most was that in the beginning everybody acts as if it was really late, like 11 p.m., but it's bright outside, the sun is shining, it's the middle of the day. Oh, come on... I just hope Bruce Willis won't be remembered by any of these crappy films he appeared in lately.

A full six months after announcing his retirement the final movie of Bruce Willis career is released. Like most of his dozen or so low budget movies released post pandemic this is another very disappointing effort. Like most of the others you have Willis as the big name to draw in audiences with another known actor playing the lead role. Throw in a poorly written script and neither Bruce or Kevin Dillon have much to work with but even then both look very old for these roles and their delivery is tired and almost comically bad. I actually think Kevin is trying to deliver some comic relief because he knows how bad the plot and script are.

Anyway the plot, Kevin is a new agent in a wire room - I must admit I has never heard of this until this movie. He's listening in to taped recordings amd largely just sat around bored in a room alone until he realises someone is about to be killed and he needs to decide whether to break strict protocols to save them. The story then unravels with corruption and betrayal which is all quite predictable.

It's such a shame to have seen Bruce go out like this rather than with one of the semi watchable low budget movies that have come out recently.

NOT a Bruce Willis movie, because the guy is only starring in it for less than 15 minutes in total and in only in a small supporting role. But it is always nice to see Bruce on screen in one of his very last roles, because he is suffering from a neurological disease. So let's enjoy Bruce Willis while we still can!

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!

What a bore fest of incoherent story telling. Bruce Willis truly has lost all the spark which once made his name valuable, he just regurgitates his spoon fed lines with no emotion whatsoever. The film is boring and the action sequences are somehow tedius, its the same camera shot repeated half the time. The overall story is absolutely boring as well, it's literally a guy who sits in a security room watching another guy in a house for the entire film. And top it all off, the big Bad guy, only ends up having around 30 seconds screen time. And just when you think this tedious mess is over, you are then left with an open end which means they might be planning a sequel.

The script is so bad, Bruce doesn't even bother to get off the couch for his scenes. He just reads his lines, collects his check, and walks away in shame.

This entire movie was filmed in a single afternoon, and they didn't even need a wardrobe...everyone just showed up in whatever they were already wearing. They even used a back-alley vagrant to play the part of the villian.

The crux of the story revolves around a swiveling office chair. They spent weeks trying to find the perfect fit for Mr. Dillon's behind. Kevin is still waiting for his entourage to show up and save him from this atrocity.
