The characters aren’t detestable, but they’re certainly not interesting. You don’t charge ahead as if nothing’s the matter and reveal all your weaknesses. If you’ve not got the budget, you think smaller and do something interesting with it.
#BREACH MOVIE FULL#
For a full feature film with John McClane himself in it, it is simply not acceptable. If it were a YouTube web-series it would be impressively made with a limited budget. The guns look like painted NERF guns, the CGI is laughable, and the cinematography is just a wash of pale blue, as if someone put a film over the camera lens.
They’re flimsy, wobbling every time a character bumps into them, made with cheap acrylic and foam, and make classic Hammer sets look sturdy by comparison. The sets look cheap and nasty, filmed on such a low budget that episodes of ‘Red Dwarf’, especially the newer series, look on-par, if not better. Whilst the film runs on and you try to find some semblance of intrigue, entertainment, skill, or creativity, every second makes it clearer that there’s nothing good about this movie. The question is: what can Breach do to change everything up?Īs it turns out, the answer to that question is “nothing”. A film’s execution can be a saving grace for its reality as a walking, talking cliché.
Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a fairly standard plot and setup provided you do something interesting with it. There are scenes where a character becomes infected with a parasite of some kind, only for it to break out of him in bloody fashion (see Alien), and where one character has to crawl through air-ducts from one location to another, and be extra quiet to avoid being heard (see almost every film in existence, but also Alien). Blend Alien (1979), Pandorum (2009), and the 2009 ‘Doctor Who’ episode ‘Waters of Mars’, and you’re not far off. If this sounds like a plot you’ve heard before, it’s because you have. In Breach, as part of the running crew of a colony ship, the last one headed to New Earth following a plague on the original, Willis’ character Clay ends up fighting to save the 300,000 people in cryo-sleep as an alien parasite infects the crew and threatens to kill everyone onboard. This is obviously complete bunk, because if it were true, it would have some work to do explaining how Bruce Willis ended up in this disaster of a film. Should this theory hold, it would mean that big stars only end up in good movies.

Be it the budget, or sheer artistic flair of the directors, or perhaps even that it’s a flagship movie that will properly establish them in the public consciousness, the jobs a thespian chooses to appear in is in some way shaped by not only their ability, but their general star power. It’s a common misconception that actors and actresses, when they reach a certain level of professionalism and clout, have the ability to only be in films that are in some way good. Starring: Bruce Willis, Cody Kearsley, Rachel Nichols, Kassandra Clementi, Johnny Messner
