Introduction to Bruce Willis Breach Movie Review 

 

There is a scene in the Wonder Woman 1984 movie where Wonder Woman looks at the Cheetah villain curiously when Cheetah is in full costume, and asks her, “What did you do?”  I’m not in any way comparing the Wonder Woman 1984 movie to Bruce Willis’ movie -- Breach. However, regarding the Breach movie, I could easily ask Bruce Willis the exact same question -- “What did you do?”

 

Unfortunately, I would ask Bruce Willis this question from a negative posture as well, because it seems to me that an actor of his caliber could do better in selecting movies to star in -- especially when the film will have his name at the top of the movie credits.

The above being said, here is my review of the Amazon Prime Video movie -- Breach starring Bruce Willis.

 

Plot of the Bruce Willis Breach Movie

 

Nothing new here, folks. This movie involves space travel where a group of selected people are aboard a spaceship, leaving old earth for a new one located somewhere in space.  Spoiler Alert: To add drama to the movie, initially, it appeared as if a couple got separated when the spaceship departed; however, they later met on the ship. In fact, the once-estranged partner of the couple became sort of a sidekick to Bruce Willis' character on the spaceship.  

 

Subplot of the Bruce Willis Breach Movie

 

The spaceship became inhabited by zombie-like creatures who shared the same elementary appearance of having  black goo on the bottom part of their face. Looks like the artist movie staff responsible for these creatures ran out of ideas as to how they should look and came up with this "design."

 

As expected, the subplot of the Breach movie involved the space crew protecting themselves against these zombies using weapons that looked like the plastic super soakers from the l990’s.  As the movie progresses, the crew faces other amateurish dangers as well.

 

Budget of the Bruce Willis Breach Movie

 

Big bucks were definitely not spent on making this movie. Money was spared when it came to hiring creative people to make the Breach movie worth watching.  Maybe money for the movie including the props, etc. was limited in order to pay for Bruce Willis' probably huge salary for starring in the movie Breach. 

 

 

 

Bruce Willis Breach Movie is no Fifth Element Blockbuster Movie

 

Bruce Willis Breach movie has a very slight similarity to one of his previous movies, The Fifth Element, but really there is no comparison between the two. Most of the criteria that makes for a good, quality movie was sadly lacking in the Breach movie. By contrast, it seems that The Fifth Element’s movie budget was substantial enough to hire quality movie people, including having a set that was far superior to that of the movie Breach.

 

Bruce Willis Acting Skills in the Breach Movie

 

The good news is that even though the script was lacking in substance and creativity, Bruce Willis managed to do a passable job acting in this movie. More positive news is that Bruce Willis’ role, unlike some of his recent ones, consisted of more than just a cameo appearance, or merely being a voice on a telephone etc.

 

 

To the contrary, Bruce Willis had an action role in the Breach movie. However, this fact alone, though an improvement, was not enough to save the movie.  On a positive note and to his credit, Bruce Willis did an ok job on this movie, given what he had to work with. 

 

That being said, it would take more than Bruce Willis’ acting talents to pull the movie Breach up to the A-list category. 

 

If I were to ask Bruce Willis -- “What did you do?”, I’m directing my question to his choice to star in the Breach movie. As you may know Bruce Willis is probably well-known for a series of what I consider good movies involving not only his role as John McClane in the Die Hard movie franchise, but many other A-list type movies as well.

 

But it looks like, as of now, Bruce Willis is simply out to get a paycheck and probably, a big one at that -- regardless of the type movie he appears in. I was anticipating seeing this movie after watching a series of his previous lackluster films -- hoping that his movie choices would change for the better.  Alas -- It seems to me his movie acting choices have gotten much worse.

 

 

Assessment of the Bruce Willis Breach Movie

 

Regretfully, I cannot recommend that you watch this movie, unless you are truly a “Die Hard” fan of Bruce Willis and want to see him again in movies. However before you watch the Breach movie you should ask yourself -- “What else could I be doing instead of wasting my valuable time?" I’m sure you will come up with something else to do which probably will be more to your liking.

 

As for me, by watching the Breach movie, I satisfied my curiosity as to the role that Bruce Willis would play in the Breach movie. I alluded to my anticipation of this film in my previous movie review here. But as for the magnitude of my viewing enjoyment in watching the Bruce Willis Breach movie -- it was little to none.

 

Rating of the Bruce Willis Breach Movie

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Breach movie starring Bruce Willis, 1 ½ stars.
