96 minute film, 70 minutes too long

Every single scene is stretched out beyond imagination, packed with needless and unrealistic dialogue. There's a scene where a man tells another to deliver these letters, a normal person would reply "okay" or "sure" etc... but the guy ended up waffling on and on for ages about how he will deliver the letters.

Bruce Willis does not act. He just repeats his spoon fed lines with little to no emotion.

Jake, the antagonist, is the biggest imbecile villain ever, constantly making mistake after mistake, doing the dumbest things. And his motive is rubbish anyway. Goes on this failed murdering spree just because someone shot his meth dealing, murdering father in the knee.

Captain East is the most incompetent cop, fails to do the simplest tasks properly and literally is narrating himself the entire time. One scene he is narrating his walking "left foot, right foot" etc.

Chloe (Ashley Greene) was the best actor of a crap bunch.

The music was obnoxiously loud, drowning out dialogue half the time, and the music choice was terrible, it's like they asked a 3 year old to click randomly on Spotify.

Then there's another villain called Virgil, who I couldn't for the life of me understand half of what he was saying. He sounded like an Italian trying to do a Southern USA accent, and ended up sounding like a croaking frog.

Christ, what a chappy film, given as a 10-15 minute short film, probably would've been decent, but too long too rubbish.
