Reprisal

Acting was horrendous, the camera kept on zooming to the actors faces unnecessarily at times... Bruce willis acting role was pointless and did not add any interesting factors to the movie.

The story line is more than boring, i recommend anyone who is thinking to watch this movie to wait until it's shown on tv 10 years later for free.

Ok, terrible camera work but it was mixed well. Let's face it, we are in an age of two types of movies, super budget and lower budget. There are thousands of lower budget movies and many on and Netflix are simply casual movies. This is a causal movie with mistakes and issues but it's not awful. Bruce was Bruce, there were good shoot outs and it was perfect to watch while working.

Although these types of stories have been overly done, I still enjoy watching them. This one could have been much better if only director Brian A. Miller knew how to direct.

For starters, he needs to invest in a tripod or something, as the shaky-cam and blurred filming gave me a headache.

To make matters worse, that annoying score was way too loud, it actually muffled some of the scenes dialogue - pretty much can't get any more amateur than that, and considering this isn't Miller's first film, it's a huge oversight, not to mention the score was just too 1980's and out of place in most scenes.

Now the writing by Bryce Hammons was just as terrible, with some scenes that just didn't make sense, as well as major plot issues, BUT, I am more forgiving towards him as he is a rookie writer with this film being only his second. I've also seen much worse writing from more seasoned writers.

The acting from all cast was actually not bad considering it seemed the director could have directed his cast better, but was probably too busy looking for that tripod. Frank Grillo and Johnathon Schaech performed well, and surprisingly so did Bruce Willis. He's been pretty annoying and bad in his latest films, so this one was a few notches up.

If you have nothing better to watch and can get past the annoying score, bad camera work and plot issues, this film is not all that bad. It's an honest 6/10 from me.

Poor poor doggie, he has not stopped crying since this movie finished. Like me he is a Frank Grillo fan, but this movie sucked, not even a B movie, I would put it at the bottom of Grillo's movies by a longshot.

This movie would rate alongside a Pre-K production of the musical Hair. Save yourself some time, and pick something else.

Frank Grillo plays Jacob an unlikely bank manager. His bank is hit by a sole bank robber who is on a robbing spree. A security guard is killed and in the mayhem the robber disappears.

The robber is stealing money supposedly to help out his ill father living in a care home. The audience does not give a damn as he brutally killed other hard working people.

Jacob and his next door neighbour who is an ex-cop, James (Bruce Willis) try to track down the robber before his next heist. When Jacob gets in the robber's way, the stakes become more personal.

This is a dull movie, badly written, the action scenes are lame and with terrible incidental music. It is really a cheapo B movie with a cameo by Willis because he is probably on his $1 million a day deal.
