I don't know why I felt possessed to watch yet another Bruce Willis geezer teaser, but I did. This has the distinction of being Willis' last film, and also (more importantly) it was a bit shorter than the others available. It has a halfway decent idea for a premise, but piss poor execution. Honestly, I only watched like 40 minutes of it, and then skimmed the rest. It's not worth the time. [spoiler]The protagonist's husband is knocked into a coma because the human-drone they were occupying at the time was murdered. They somehow recovered camera footage of this murder, even though it took place in a wine cellar. There are multiple camera angles to boot. One such angle would've required the camera to literally be right over the shoulder of the murderer.[/spoiler] [spoiler]In order for a human to become a "drone," they need to have an electronic worm inserted into the back of the neck so it can attach to their brain. We're supposed to believe that the target will not feel a worm _burrowing into their head,_ and also that the wound this creates somehow heals instantly. They didn't even bother trying to explain any of this away. It's stupid.[/spoiler] [spoiler]At one point, there is a montage of characters we don't know murdering characters we don't know, and it's an utterly pointless waste of time.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Bruce Willis' character doesn't do a whole lot other than sit around and speak gruffly a bit. He's also murdered like 2/3rds into the runtime, so he doesn't have to appear in the rest of it. That seems to be a trend among these cash grab films.[/spoiler] This definitely isn't good, and definitely isn't worth your time. But it could be worse, I guess. I thought Bruce Willis' performance was _marginally_ better than he was in Vendetta. That really isn't saying much, because he still is bad and lazy in this, and the script is god awful. Yes, there is a medical reason behind his poor performances, but it doesn't make the performance any better. Sad to see him go out like this.

Better than IMDB made it out to be. IMDB reflects simpletons which is why I am here an not there. The reason why many downvoted this movie was simply because in the last years Bruce Willis' movies declined in quality - however, this movie was cut with a lot of love, putting Willis into the most favourable positions you could get out of his brain-disease. The plot overall was not bad at all and the acting of the other actors neither. It should be voted into the middle-league.
