Best movie of this year hands down!
Such a frustrating disappointment
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Marauders, a movie brought to you by the director Steven C. Miller which revolves around the investigation and chase of a group of criminals that were heisting Hubert National banks. With the course of the investigation, led by Special Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) of the FBI with some minor help from the local police department, they find out that the heists have a connection with the owner of Hubert National, Hubert (Bruce Willis).I felt empty watching this movie. The story itself was kind of predictable, with a lot of hints to who were the bad guys (which should be kept a mystery until the end in this kind of plot), breaking my curiosity, leaving the movie to be dull. There were a lot of slow motions, off point slow motions, completely unnecessary. I don't like to use this word, but some lines throughout the movie felt cringy. And there was a lot, in my opinion, of pointless drama. To be fair, they did find a way to connect the drama to the main plot, but still, it would be a lot better without it in the movie.Even though the movie was predictable, there were some minor surprises towards the end of the movie, and still, the ending felt so meh. So many possibilities and yet they decided to end the movie like many others, nothing new to see here.This movie had a lot of potential. I never saw heists in movies performed like the ones in this flick, and the motivation of the criminals was interesting and different. It could've been explored differently, in a more captivating way, in a more distinct way. Disappointing.With all its flaws combined, not too long with 107 minutes, it can still be an interesting movie for people who love crime and police movies, but for me, it just didn't do the trick. A solid 5 out of 10.
I like the concept of cops and robbers. Throw in a heist and off we go. Add a back-story and really gets interesting. Add more stories on top of that and you lose me entirely making go back to the first premise of cops and robbers. Good movie except at some point you ask what is going on? I am still not sure what role Bruce Willis plays either. Watchable but pay attention or you will be writing a review like this one. By the way, I have seen it twice and still had to find out what was going on especially in the end. Enjoy
Ohmygod, what a mess. How can grown men make such a mess.Let's start with the cast. WWE Hall-of-Fame Wrestler Batista in a crime movie, playing a detective? He'd be much better typecast as a bad guy. Then there's the FBI Special Agent, most recently seen with Jayne Mansfield's daughter in TV's Law and Order, now mad at the world, looking like he needs a shave and a few good stiff drinks. Bruce Willis destroying his glass office table with a baseball bat, no doubt in anger for getting cast in this disaster. The rest of the cast look like Disney animatronic dummies, except the Disney dummies show more life and a better script.Next, the plot. What plot? I replayed a few parts of the movie and read the Wikepedia plot explanation several times, and still can't figure it out. Obviously, neither can the other reviewers...just read their reviews. The key guys wind up conveniently in the same cafe in Mexico on the same day, to try and bring this mess to an end. But how can you have an end, when there is no beginning and no middle. Here's a clue: THERE IS NO PLOT.Finally, the action. If you like seeing a bank heist conducted like a poorly executed military raid, with the added nonsense of cheap Halloween masks and issuing voice commands through a Google watch, OK, admit you're hopelessly addicted to playing video games on smart phones (clearly the intended audience).Wikepedia mentions the revenues hit $1.6 million. Wow. Not mentioned is how much it cost to make this flop, but you can bet, with Willis' minimum fee of $1-million per movie, it lost a great deal of money. There's hope yet for movie audiences if they can recognize and ignore trash when they see it.
I can't believe the low rating given to this movie. It's one of those little gems you stumble across and thank goodness you do. Compared to the drivel out their at the moment it was a refreshing change. Good story, good acting,gritty, very watchable. I can only surmise that there is an army of trolls out there paid to make some movies look good (when they are absolute garbage...Arrival being a case in point OMG) and good movies look bad.
