It’s mainly a gunfight in a warehouse, that’s it.” The People’s Movies I’d be surprised if the film had more than 30-minutes worth of dialogue. What you have read in the synopsis is the entire film. “The synopsis of this film makes it sound great, a high paced action film with a loose plot that will become more intense and detailed as you watch the film – but it doesn’t. “Easily one of the better films to come out of the Emmett/Furla stable, Hard Kill works, surprisingly, thanks to the films limitations – the singular location, the small cast and the simple plot and also a compelling performance from actor Jesse Metcalfe, who gets a chance to follow-up on his action role in the second Escape Plan movie and really shine as a heroic leading man.” Nerdly Even if you’re a fan of Willis I wouldn’t get too choked up about the actor and his selection of roles as of late, if you skip this one I’m sure you’ll have another similarly titled/themed one available in six months or so.” The MN Movie Man “Cheaply made with most of the action taking place in a large warehouse that hosts an endless series of low impact, poorly staged gunfights as well as a number of melodramatic scenes to balance out the action, Hard Kill should be an easy hard pass for you. Alas, this could have been something bigger and better, if the villain had been more flamboyant. This isn’t Willis’s best work, but he still has his action cred and dependable watchability. Destroying the world isn’t revolutionary activism, its nihilistic terrorism. Willis’ mumbling sleepwalk of a performance is the least of Hard Kill‘s problems…” Good Efficient Butchery And worst of all, it’s insanely boring, lethargically-paced with no sense of urgency to the proceedings, no suspense given the high stakes, and no effort on the part of the cast to convincingly sell any of it, with Rizzuto about as plausible a feared international terrorist as Vanderpump Rules’ Kent is as a scientific genius who invents a game-changing AI program. “Ultimately, Hard Kill is far from a hard pass, though it could be a hard watch if you’re not checking this out to see Bruce or former WWE wrestler Natalie Eva Marie – who, amongst the many generic muscular bearded men, is the standout performer.” The Digital Fix The production doesn’t have any fresh ideas or, at times, basic competency, staying weirdly small with a plot that welcomes a grander feel for B-movie escapism.” It’s a siege picture in a way, with the helmer in charge of making pennies spent on the production look like dimes. ” …puts in next to no effort when it comes to creating even basic suspense or excitement.
