Killing Field review – Bruce Willis murders his own reputation once again

Bruce Willis continues his marketing campaign of repute self-ruin – not that he has that far to fall – with this cruddy, spinoff motion thriller that pits two cops – one being Willis, the opposite Swen Temmel – and a bereaved warfare veteran performed by Chad Michael Murray, in opposition to an eclectic assortment of drug smuggling miscreants. In a semi-tropical rural locale someplace within the southern US (Puerto Rico served because the precise location), cops David (Willis) and Cal (Temmel) make a multitude of busting some drug sellers. Though David will get injured and caught by the miscreants, Cal hares off after Violet (Kate Katzman, ripping off Margot Robbie’s bleached basis and darkish lipstick look from The Suicide Squad) and her super-violent bottle-blond boyfriend (Zack Ward). They find yourself on the farmhouse of Eric (Murray), who not too long ago managed to kill his spouse and younger daughter in a automobile crash by not preserving his eyes on the highway. Though clearly a horrible driver, Eric isn’t such a foul shot and shortly he groups up with Cal to save lots of David by taking down the unhealthy guys, whose numbers maintain growing for the primary half of the movie, after which lowering within the second as they’re picked off.

Willis does a whole lot of sitting round being handcuffed whereas bleeding, which nonetheless fails to wipe that everlasting smug sneer off his face. The limitless bouts of fisticuffs and gunplay are interspersed with fitful plot padding and grim makes an attempt at banter between assorted teams of characters – however by no means greater than 5 directly as a result of that will presumably have been too costly. The fixed soundtrack of bland, mild metallic guitar thrashing simply provides to the ache.

Killing Area is launched on 17 January on digital platforms.
