An other crap movie from Mr. Willis

Welcome fellow members to our next monthly installment of "Brucey's Monthly Lousy Movies"
Top_Dawg_Critic20 January 2022
From our last month's installment of Fortress, nothing has really changed in American Siege.
We still have writer and director Edward Drake responsible for yet another Willis-Drake disaster. Maybe Drake has something on Brucey, or they're related, because this flop-film duo are responsible for Apex, Cosmic Sin, Breach, and we have two more upcoming flops from this disaster duo.
Once again, Drake gives us a predictable, cliched, convoluted and sloppy screenplay, riddled with plot and technical issues, along with the atrocious "I hope there's no aliens" type dialogue. Even the sets this time were hilarious - opening a huge vault door, going down the stairs to a basement bigger than a high school gymnasium, that also has a high barn roof with daylight coming in from the exhaust fans. Clearly, the set and location manager didn't understand the assignment. His directing was just as bad with unnecessary nostril close-ups, 1980's slow-mos, and long dragged out and unnecessary scenes. The acting by most was decent, especially Anna Hindman and Cullen G. Chambers - obviously not Brucey, as he once again looked like the most inexperienced, loud and expressionless actor of them all, just grunting his lines in between drinks. He was just there for the paycheck. The cinematography was bland, but the score was surprisingly fitting and proper, unlike the typical loud, constant, unfitting and annoying B film scores. Thankfully the 90 min runtime flew by with some decent pacing.
It's a very generous 3/10 from me, all mostly going to The Great One's wife and son, Janet Jones and Trevor Gretzky for their compelling performances.

The B movie king
BananaHeads28 December 2021
Bruce Willis has 11 movies.....ELEVEN....movies in post production so far for 2022 and the year hasn't even started. He's turning them out faster than a day laborer.
American Siege, no different than the rest. Worse maybe. 1 day or less of work, then on to the next stinker.

goodalan-8219128 December 2021
Bruce Willis turned up done his bit all of
1 day then left the set.
Do not watch this because you will be very disappointed.
I only watched ten minutes and that was Enough. Should of known better.
Bruce Willis movie. "Say no more"

Rated 1 but probably 2.5
irishjohn-6963129 December 2021
(Look at the breakdown, 56% of all reviews gave it 10 / 10 )
Whole movie took 8 days and Bruce Willis did all his scenes in 1 day. It shows . Movie smacks of "no one cares" about it, wants to do the bare minimum and go home.
Its a shame these old actors don't go out with some sense of dignity.

C Grade Trash
jos-dsouza9 January 2022
You could say the word trash a million times and yet the trash in this mess will not get cleared.
Bruce Willis.. from a real action movie like Die Hard to being now being a non actor in a C grade movie with other C grade non actors. What a come down.

LIFELESS
lukem-5276012 April 2022
Another really bad Willis Thriller!!!
Yes i know Willis is not well so I'm not gonna bash his performance because the action legend isn't himself anymore & is really ill. It was nice to have Willis in a more main role than most of his cameo bit parts he usually gets but of course he's not up to scratch & is Sleepwalking through it but i understand why.
The film itself is simply so LIFELESS!!! With or without Willis the film is dull & boring.
Willis has been decent in other low-budget flicks such as Trauma Centre & Anti Life.

Bruce Willis Health is Deteriorating
FreakingMovieFanatic19 July 2022
Apparently not everyone reads the news but BW health is in bad shape. He has been diagnosed was a type of dementia that is making hard for him to remember lines etc. So yes the studio's reduce his lines so he can do them. Yes the movies produced are terrible but it's money in his pocket for his family.
It's awful to think our John McClane days our over.

Not perfect, but better than the 8 other movies Bruce made this year.
imseeg2 January 2022
The good: great supporting actors in this movie. Enough shootouts to stay thrilled. Eye for an eye spirit. YEAH.
The bad: Bruce Willis made 9 movies in 2021. That's a lot. Some of these movies tend to not be as great as we (Bruce Willis fans) hoped. And although American Siege is one of the better ones, there is room for improvement, to put it politely. So dont expect Die Hard...
At an (excrucially) important sidenote, let us not forget WHY we are watching Bruce Willis movies to begin with. We watch Bruce Willis movies because of DIE HARD (1988). THE ONE AND ONLY BIGGEST ACTION AMERICAN ACTION CLASSIC OF THE CENTURY.
This classic is still standing strong after more than 30 years. Millions of people still REwatch it during every Christmas holiday. Recently a petition was launched to rename Nakatomi Plaza into DIE HARD plaza.
A life time achievement award for Bruce Willis is in the making.
DIE HARD (1988) NEVER DIES but is still ALIVE AND KICKING IN 2022. Happy New Year!

What story?
The acting was terrible Just a slow, painful way to waste an hour and half of your life.
Why is Bruce Willis doing this crap? Surely he's rich enough to retire if they don't offer him decent parts in decent movies?

Weak but not actors fault
Mohamad0211 January 2022
Bruce Willis back at it again with chitty chitty bang bag.
Small town, everyone knows each other and drama that needs to be solved.
The movie is weak due to its story, characters, camera work, decoration, choice of clothing and most importantly it seem to be shot in a day cause the sunlight for hours is not realistic.
Most reviews blaming the characters, but this is not Bruce Willis or any other cast members issue.

Tacti-cool?
Stewatson354 April 2022
No. Not at all.
This movie has many guns, it has kidnappers, it has police, it has militia, it has the Feds, but not a single one of them wears body armor walking into a hostage situation with guns raised.
It's this lack of attention to detail that bugs me.
There's one guy with airsoft armor on. Like that's going to to stop a round?! (Pssst, it doesn't!)
The storyline is just small town corruption. But to a ridiculous level.
I'd have thought a militia who are carrying pretty much everything APART from vests.
Not a soul in this movie is wearing one. Or a version of one.
The notion of cover/concealment doesn't seem to matter much either.
I think this is one that law enforcement and and even militias will be laughing at. Not to mention the military who love to "ding" people in movies. 🤣
Their semi automatic guns are firing full auto, without much sign of mag changes.
So take it with a handful of salt, because the whole thing is a bit... far fetched?
And I just saw a gun firing, and the bangs didn't match the muzzle flashes? 🤣
Just skip it. That would be my advice.
Definitely don't pay to see it.

Waste of time and money
chanakaamunugama31 December 2021
I have followed and admired many Bruce Willis movies but recently most of his movies have become junk. And this is such a waste of time.
The script is so old you know the storyline after 10 minutes into the story. The acting and directing is also disappointing to watch. Do not watch this movie.

Utter Garbage
sjmarks23 February 2022
Recycled plot.
Wooden acting by Bruce Willis, whose complete disinterest is heard in every word he says.
Unlikeable characters.
Garbage dialogue and storytelling.
If I could have given this film ) stars I would have.
Don't waste your time.

Grace Baker star of the show
movielover22227 January 2022
I wasn't sure what to think when I saw that Bruce Willis was releasing yet another movie, but I am glad I decided to watch this. Bruce's character is not his most impressive work, but Grace Baker had me quickly searching "Anna Hindman" to see what else I could watch her in. This was her first film and I'm hoping to see her in more soon. Great film and will recommend to friends.
Great Thriller
ed-5275230 December 2021
His best film in a year.
uajx2 January 2022
Nothing better than another Grindstone production, where Bruno comes in for a day and shoots all his scenes in one afternoon. That said, this story has some meat to it. Ty Gretzky was decent, and looks like him Mom...who also probably filmed her scenes in a day. In fact, Od bet on it (for those who know what that means, enjoy!!)
I didn't enjoy the character who was the female villain. An young actress from CT, who had a terrible fake Southern accent. Overall, the film was shot in 8 days, so the scenes are tight and likely filmed very close to one another. This was MUCH a better than expected.

Easily the worst of Bruce's 2021 movies
spurs6828 February 2022
Can you give zero? Utter rubbish. Poor script, nonsensical story and pretty much uniformly badly acted (although even against stiff competition Bruce Willis still stands out as hopeless). Clearly another 'ear piece' performance by the once great action hero (and the star of arguably the best action movie ever). So sad.
Not going to give a synopsis because it doesn't deserve one and nothing I can say will portray just how bad it is. Just don't bother (it is not even ironically bad).
