rickwr Good svript good cinematography good acting. Just something missing here and there.

NoPantsBatman Marauders, a movie brought to you by the director Steven C. Miller which revolves around the investigation and chase of a group of criminals that were heisting Hubert National banks. With the course of the investigation, led by Special Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) of the FBI with some minor help from the local police department, they find out that the heists have a connection with the owner of Hubert National, Hubert (Bruce Willis).I felt empty watching this movie. The story itself was kind of predictable, with a lot of hints to who were the bad guys (which should be kept a mystery until the end in this kind of plot), breaking my curiosity, leaving the movie to be dull. There were a lot of slow motions, off point slow motions, completely unnecessary. I don't like to use this word, but some lines throughout the movie felt cringy. And there was a lot, in my opinion, of pointless drama. To be fair, they did find a way to connect the drama to the main plot, but still, it would be a lot better without it in the movie.Even though the movie was predictable, there were some minor surprises towards the end of the movie, and still, the ending felt so meh. So many possibilities and yet they decided to end the movie like many others, nothing new to see here.This movie had a lot of potential. I never saw heists in movies performed like the ones in this flick, and the motivation of the criminals was interesting and different. It could've been explored differently, in a more captivating way, in a more distinct way. Disappointing.With all its flaws combined, not too long with 107 minutes, it can still be an interesting movie for people who love crime and police movies, but for me, it just didn't do the trick. A solid 5 out of 10.

dinktinkler This is my first review and I thought I would be doing people a favor by sharing it with this movie. First of all I watched this movie on Netflix so I didn't waste my money, but my time. I don't know what else is to be said about this movie. It is a simple yet convoluted plot of a bogus story.I get people like bank heist movies because they like the idea of crime but everything in this movie was just convoluted that the ending we did not care at all what happened. The cast is mediocre especially with a lazy Bruce Willis phoning it in. That old goofball WWE wrestler, the guy from Entourage and the other cop from CSI or whatever.Too much happens in here and it seems like the directors intentions were he thought it were good ideas (hah!).Conclusion, avoid Mauraders like a plague. If you want a clever bank heist movie, go watch Hell or High Water.

fredtee Ohmygod, what a mess. How can grown men make such a mess.Let's start with the cast. WWE Hall-of-Fame Wrestler Batista in a crime movie, playing a detective? He'd be much better typecast as a bad guy. Then there's the FBI Special Agent, most recently seen with Jayne Mansfield's daughter in TV's Law and Order, now mad at the world, looking like he needs a shave and a few good stiff drinks. Bruce Willis destroying his glass office table with a baseball bat, no doubt in anger for getting cast in this disaster. The rest of the cast look like Disney animatronic dummies, except the Disney dummies show more life and a better script.Next, the plot. What plot? I replayed a few parts of the movie and read the Wikepedia plot explanation several times, and still can't figure it out. Obviously, neither can the other reviewers...just read their reviews. The key guys wind up conveniently in the same cafe in Mexico on the same day, to try and bring this mess to an end. But how can you have an end, when there is no beginning and no middle. Here's a clue: THERE IS NO PLOT.Finally, the action. If you like seeing a bank heist conducted like a poorly executed military raid, with the added nonsense of cheap Halloween masks and issuing voice commands through a Google watch, OK, admit you're hopelessly addicted to playing video games on smart phones (clearly the intended audience).Wikepedia mentions the revenues hit $1.6 million. Wow. Not mentioned is how much it cost to make this flop, but you can bet, with Willis' minimum fee of $1-million per movie, it lost a great deal of money. There's hope yet for movie audiences if they can recognize and ignore trash when they see it.
