Wire Room

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.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action thriller "Wire Room", I must admit that I wasn't really expecting this movie to be a particular blast of a movie. Why? Well, given the recent years string of direct-to-video releases from Bruce Willis, then I didn't keep any hopes up.

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.

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!

I made an IMDB account just to review this movie. It is by far the absolute worst acting I have ever seen in my life. Bruce Willis put absolutely no effort into his part. Kevin Dillon doesn't play his part well. It's basically like they're reading straight off the script. Super amateur & monotone. There's honestly nothing positive to say at all. Script, acting, and camera work are so far below par I'm suprised they even released the movie after watching it. I really thought it had to be a spoof at first because of how gosh awful the acting was, but nope. Just a terrible movie all the way around. Do not waste your time.

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.
