Sobreviver à Noite

Even though I watched it with very low expectations but it was able to disappoint me, with this kind of movies you only hope for action but the director wasn't able to deliver any good action sequences through out the movie adding the immature screenwriting and really bad acting especially from the lead actor and the daughter made this movie annoying and hard to watch but at least Bruce Willis showed up for this one, go watch Hostage or Trespass instead of this cheap

As the title says... Poor ol Bruce.. on the downhill slope :(

The only reason I watched this was because Bruce Willis was featured. I can't imagine why he decided to act in/put his name on this film. I am astonished at how disappointing this movie was. Willis's son's wife is a plastic surgery nightmare. The characters have dozens of opportunities to save themselves from their predicament. What a disappointment of a thriller. Waste of time.

There were more plot holes than the unnecessarily long and sappy 90 minute cat and mouse runtime smh. I get that this is amateur writer Doug Wolfe's first ever writing credit, but c'mon, didn't anyone else proofread this ridiculous long dragged out mess?

Here's the math: of the 90 min runtime, subtract 7 mins for opening and post credits. Then we have 20 mins of some bad guys involved in, what, I don't know, that also pull off a stupid stunt, as well as the Brady Bunch family, where the son is a failure, for, I don't know what. The remaining 60+ minutes is the most ridiculous and illogical plot-riddled to the point of hilariousness cat-and-mouse game, with dragged out long and useless scenes. Add the soap-opera sappy dialogue between two brothers, and the father and son trying to rekindle their relationship - amidst the so called terror. Escape, come back, hide, get caught, repeat. And even for criminals, the stupidity in their actions were laughable. It got annoying very fast. Had this film been a 20 min short, it may have received a 5 or 6 from me.

Bruce Willis was his usual "look at me I'm Bruce Willis" attitude with his stale monotonic washed-up tough-guy demeanor. But that I expected going into this, because anything worse than a Bruce Willis film, is another Bruce Willis film. Even the pretty Lydia Hull, who oddly is in almost every Willis film, was boring and stale. The rest of the cast were ok, with the bad guys being the most convincing, and made the effort to act. I'm sure failure from the director to direct his cast properly was a big part of the rest of the characters' failed acting.

The directing was also sub-par with some terrible editing. For a b-grade film, the score wasn't as annoying as I'd expected it to be, but still somewhat overbearing and unfitting. The cinematography was ok, but bad in the night outdoor scenes.

If you watch this film at 5x faster speed, even without hearing any dialogue, you'll get the gist of the entire story, which is nothing new and done many times before. Sadly, it's a generous 3/10 from me, and I will never get my 90 minutes back.

Saw the trailer and it looked mediocre, but I thought \hey lets see what Bruce Willis has been up to' and rented the film on demand.

The plot is very simple, which takes us through two brothers on the run to escape to Mexico after stealing loads of cash but are suddenly stopped in their tracks when one of the brothers gets shot in the leg and need medical assistance.

The vigilante's find a clinic in the middle of nowhere and follow the doctor ( Chad Michael Murray) back to his father's house (Bruce Willis) where the doc and his wife/daughter are staying after a accidental death lawsuit cased cause Rich and his family to leave the city.

So the Vigilante's follow the Doc home and eventually take hold of the family and force the doc to fix his brother's leg but the the family being take hostage wont go down without a fight.

There, thats my synopsis onto the review:

The film right off the bat seems low budget and the acting on the brother's stand point seems very subpar, i however must tell you that actor - Shea Buckner - plays a very compelling and convincing idiot-psychotic brother but unfortunately not much was given for him to work with as the dialogue was very limited, but I did like his approach.

The story was simple, and some of the gunshot wounded scenes were pretty nice and enjoye dthose, but as the chase got on the story became a tad dull and he ultimate conclusion ended weirdly - I was left feeling Just Okay with the film. It wasn't super bad and it just wasn't super good, or even great for that matter.

Bruce Willis's role as the father was good, I mean he did good for what his role was, i felt the tension of the bond between father and son, and it worked - I would like to see Willis and Shea Buckner come together in more defined film with a more compelling storyline.

• simple story
• not the greatest dialogue
• felt the relationship between both Brothers and the father son bond
• the story became dull towards the end

Review: 2.8 / 5 or 5 /10 - liked the story but the dialogue fell flat - chemistry was there, but the story as well as the conclusion was dull - wasn't bad, but wasn't great.
