But for Jared Cohn, an experienced writer and director to give us this nonsense, is inexcusable. The writing was worse than a 5th grade drama class would present. This was such a plot-hole riddled lazily written bag full of cliches, it was cringe. Then he had his actors pretty much acting like clowns, I couldn't take Mr. Smiley and Pipe Smoker seriously. It's a shame, because this had potential and could've easily worked in the hands of any other capable filmmaker, especially considering the decent casting. It's a generous 4/10 from me.

Well with the Bruce Willis films winding down Im still seeing what work he has just done. This one is called Vendetta and it also stars Mike Tyson and Thomas Jane.

And the thing is...its not that bad really. I mean its far from great but its the best film Bruce Willis has been in in years. I give it a 5/10. Most of his newest films I gave a 1 to 3 rating. Its a basic vigilante film much in the spirt of Death Wish. A young girl is murdered by a gang member and her father decides to kill him instead of testifying against him. That gets the whole gang angry and they go after him.

In this movie, former U. S. Marine William Duncan (Clive Standen) strikes back at the thugs who murdered his daughter and therefore provoking a cycle of violence. A revenge movie in which Bruce Willis (Donnie Fetter) plays (again) a crime boss who orders his loose-cannon son Theo Rossi (Rory) to clean up the mess. Another boring Bruce Willis movie, whose unfocussed and empty performance is really hard to watch after the news of his Aphasia diagnosis. Bruce spends most of his scenes sitting behind a desk and you can see he is struggling with his dialogue. Heart-breaking! The good news is we have Thomas Jane playing an arms dealer and Mike Tyson playing the leader of a gang and dealing stolen cars. If you like to see Thomas Jane (and he is really outperforming here) smoking a pipe and always drinking a bottle of beer, this movie is for you. Mike´s role was very small but he passed with flying colours!
