Review of Vice (2015) by Gimly M — 31 Jul 2015

What sounds like a cheap version of Gamer actually ends up being more akin to another Bruce Willis film, "Surrogates". And just like Surrogates, Vice is garbage. It's runtime is thankfully short (96 minutes) but the dialogue is frequently painful and the story is more holes than substance.

If trying really hard to mail it in wasn't an oxymoron, I'd say that's what Willis is mostly up to these days, and Vice is no exception, he's useless, most everyone else is clearly amateur, only Thomas Jane brings even one iota of talent to the piece and even then he is pretty heavily hammed down by the script.

I suppose an argument could be made that Charlotte Kirk was more than tolerable, though this is quite likely thanks to her minor role. All that trash talking aside though, I've been far more bored in far bigger movies, so I guess it's all point of reference.
