Corrective Measures

Just when you think you've seen the last of the Bruce Willis movies another POP UP, he must have made a boatload of these Class D movies before he decided to retire. This movie was or is a real freak show filled with Meta-Human Rejects from the Metaverse. This is one of those movies you have to see to believe, then you wish you had done laundry instead, or wash the car. But hay, Bruce keeps trying to find one that takes back to his Die Heart Days.

This is another one of those movies, you sit and watch a rainy afternoon, when you are looking for a distraction from the weather, or you want something, any thing to make noise in an otherwise quiet house. Good Luck with this puppy. It's outta step and outta time.

The movie lacked severely in the category of focus...... I mean really... one of the guys gets his powers back that can electrocute a city block but he gets beat to death by a jailer? How? I mean rally how? No depth in scenery with regards to prison staff..... and can we take a second and agree the TV crew idea was an abysmal execution.

The ending was a fabulous surprise.

And the holy executioner was cool.

For these 2 items they get 4 points. Director sucks though.

The story had potential but there was so many inconsistencies with the characters that it completely destroyed all emersion. They were so busy trying to push the idea that this character is the tough female cop, this character is the dumb cop, this character is the caring doctor, this character is the religious zealot, etc., that they were not believable. It reminded me of a first draft that you haven't read through to flesh out, fix the logic holes, and make everything is consistent.

It's a low budget film with Bruce Willis topping the casting we've seen that a lot over the past twelve months. Usually the films are out right terrible (with a couple of watchable exceptions) so the bar is low. In this one Bruce is really in the background but notabley there is a plot here and solid acting backed up by decent special effects. It's far from a top movie but I'm glad Willis has ended his career with a slight uptick in quality after his last few disasters.

A futuristic prison encounter which is just about worth the time investment.

Sad because it was boring and sad because it will be one of Bruce's last movies. I hate to think many will judge him on this movie and others like it. He doesn't have much of a part in it but he does well for what he has to work with. I actually found myself nodding off several times. That in itself is sad for a so-called action movie.
