And why is Willis wearing that strange scarf the entire time? Yeah, this looks as bad as it sounds - just watch the kick ass short film called Deadlock instead. The cast includes Matthew Marsden, Lorenzo Antonucci, Ava Paloma, and Jared Bankens. So uh, he's a bad guy this time? Patrick Muldoon plays a retired army ranger who must take them out to save a nearby town. Convinced that the government is working against them, the merciless group brutally seizes an energy plant and holds everyone inside hostage. Deadlock stars Willis as Ron Whitlock, described as a wanted criminal leading a team of mercenaries on a mission of vengeance. ![]() We keep posting these trailers for bad Bruce Willis films because they're so remarkably bad and yet he keeps starring in them over and over and over. While fairly fun, it is still just another generic action film that fails to stand out amongst the many others that came before and will come after it."This is my legacy." Saban Films has unveiled the official trailer for Deadlock, another "why did you make this film, Bruce!?" action thriller starring Bruce Willis. There’s a lot of talk in between about justice and doing what’s right, but it only seems to be incoherent thoughts, without really saying anything of value. It rushes to the start the same way it speeds through its ending. Luckily, it does correlate with the film’s high-paced action.Īs it stands, Deadlock lives up to its name in that it offers no genuine realisation of any of its chosen themes, and nothing tangible is ever resolved. This is, of course, the opposite of Muldoon’s extremely overeager performance, which is so energetic that it comes off as fidgety against everyone’s else’s mediocre delivery. His usually emotionally stiff acting – which worked endearingly in a lot of his previous filmography – fails to achieve anything in this feature. There’s stoic and clinical, and then there’s bland and monotone. The production also prioritises photography, using aerial shots and flare aesthetics, complemented by solitary long notes in the score that, along with the tint of yellow and blue filters, give the picture an overall feel of desertion.Īcting-wise, Willis unfortunately looks bored playing his role. However, viewers may be rattled by how unsteady the frames can be, balanced only by the focus the tracking shots provide. ![]() This allows for really smooth transitions with the handling of guns and the display of violence. Riddled with quick, successive action sequences, Deadlock uses constant tracking shots alongside an abundance of crossfades and erratic camera movements to keep everything in constant motion. It’s all violence and revenge ideation right from the get-go. Catalysed by a police raid (portrayed in the opening sequence) that seemingly goes wrong and ends up killing a young man, Ron (Bruce Willis) hijacks the plant in the middle of a school field trip, demanding justice and proclamation of innocence for his dead and imprisoned sons, whilst flooding the entire town. Mack (Patrick Muldoon) is a former soldier, now working as a welder at the local nuclear power plant. High-paced and mostly contained in the events of one day, the script explores in a superficial manner lines of police corruption, drugs and gun violence. ![]() Justice and instinct are the focal points of Deadlock. ![]()
