To me, this movie is perfection.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
What a great movie... there wasn't a dull moment during the film, (the moment when you grab your phone) but solid from the start.
Well, this is another one of those straight to video films, and while it started off pretty good, it sort of nose dived about half-way through. Well, not so much so, but still, like a lot of films it sort of ground to a halt and left me rather dissatisfied with the conclusion. Not to say that this ended up being pretty bad, not at all, it was just that by the time I got to the end I was quite glad that it was over. So, the film is about a group of bank robbers that seem to be targeting specific banks, and killing specific people. The FBI gets involved pretty quickly, meaning that what's happening is pretty serious. The robbers are quite professional, and are certainly not your average street thugs. Further, there seems to be a bit of bad blood between the feds and the local police, but then again that seems to be a common trope. In a way the mystery surrounding it starts off really good, especially with the bank robbery scenes. Unfortunately, once the third one happens, everything goes pear shaped, namely because the FBI happen to be there as well. Then again, that tends to happen in these types of film. Also, the fact that there are bullets flying everywhere, and the major characters seem to escape without injury sort of defies belief. This is pretty much where the film grounds to a halt. Then again, that's the thing with a lot of mysteries because once it becomes apparent what is going on then, at least for me, the best part of the film is over. Actually, I suspect that it has a lot to do with the creator's ability to create a pretty awesome twist, and unfortunately, in this case, it didn't happen.
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
