“Donu0026#39;t bother watching this because if youu0026#39;ve seen the last ten movies in which Bruce Willis makes a cameo, this one is just more of the same. Gratuitous violence, tiresome, faux tough-guy dialogue, and mind-numbingly stupid gun-play donu0026#39;t make for much when it comes to entertainment, as if just throwing these elements into a pot will somehow produce anything fit for adult consumption.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDoes this film have a story? Itu0026#39;s hard to say when they hurl an endless torrent of blood and bullets at the audience in an attempt to distract you from the fact that if there is a story, itu0026#39;s too unoriginal to even mention. Iu0026#39;ve never played a video game, but I would imagine that Grand Theft Auto has more of a plot than White Elephant.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou canu0026#39;t even blame the actors in the movie. Itu0026#39;s like pulling a bunch of garbage from the dumpster and expecting someone to cook a meal with it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA few things writers of action movies should already understand:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eDrywall will not stop a round from an assault rifle, neither will a car door. Some high-powered rounds can go through an entire house and still kill you.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eIf you want to kill someone on the sly, donu0026#39;t use a gun as itu0026#39;s too messy, especially if you are then going to take the body somewhere else to disposed of it. Just take the live guy to the disposal area, then get rid of him. If the cops stop you on the way there, itu0026#39;s a lot easier to explain a guy in the back seat than a corpse in the trunk.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eTry reading books so that everything you write isnu0026#39;t exactly like the last twenty movies you streamed. I doubt Hollywood writers can be bothered to read books, this seems obvious from their output of puerile doggerel like this film.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eIf you canu0026#39;t choreograph a decent gun battle, stop thinking that five more in the film will improve things.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e”
