Review of Setup (2012) by Andrew E — 07 Apr 2012
'Setup' is a low-budget, by-the-numbers mess, featuring terrible acting, predictable moments and nearly no suspense or fun to be had. In all fairness, I knew what I was walking into beforehand, and just pretty much expected what I received.
Sadly enough, Bruce Willis is wasted, Ryan Phillipe seems to just want his paycheck, and they even added in MMA Superstar Randy Couture, who basically is just used as a filler, though he just may put up the best performance this movie has to offer.
That isn't saying much, as the whole cast is just dreadful. A couple very bright spots, though limited, is the hitman character, who acts pretty well, though the role is far too small to really notice it.
As well as Vincent's jailed father, who isn't prominent enough here. I've seen worse films, but 'Setup' is filled with absolutely nothing new, and clearly the actors just needed some more money.
Though Bruce Willis is already loaded........Anyway, avoid this film at all costs, unless you enjoy these low-budget bore-fests.
