Rent Deadlock (2021)

Avoid - Absolutely Awful - Deadlock review by GI

Allegedly Bruce Willis filmed all his scenes in one day on this awful film. That fact sort of epitomises what a derivative load of tosh this is and gives grounds to the allegation that he's the laziest actor in Hollywood. He can't take all the blame here though because the script is so bad it's cringeworthy and the entire plot makes little, if any, senes. It's clearly a 'Die Hard' type narrative, the irony of that not being lost, with Willis playing some psycho or other who with a band of mercenaries takes over a power plant and dam and begins to flood the local area threatening the lives of the population.....and all because his son was killed by the police. It's anyone guess what his gang are in it for as there seems to be no mention of ransom or riches or even a cause for which they are fighting. Of course in amongst the intrepid employees is an ex special forces soldier (Patrick Muldoon) who despatches just about everyone with his pistol that seems to have unlimited ammo while the bad guys can't hit him with there massive array of automatic weapons. Just to add insult to injury after spending a good hour trying to shoot him when they do get the drop they opt for a punch up instead!! This is really an example of shoddy filmmaking and a waste of money.
