With just a few scenes from Bruce Willis...

Marauders Running time: 1hr 53min Starring; Bruce Willis, Christopher Meloni, Dave Bautista DIRECTED BY Steven C Miller PRODUCED BY Rosie Charbonneau SEVERAL questions come to mind while watching the latest crime thriller “starring” Bruce Willis. Such as, how many days did the actor work to complete his few scenes? How much did he get paid? And are presales and VOD receipts really enough to make this sort of formulaic B-movie profitable?

Pondering such weighty issues is certainly more interesting than trying to immerse yourself in the convoluted plotting of the blandly titled Marauders. This tale about a team of FBI agents – who are trying to catch a gang of ruthless bank robbers – throws in lengthy debates about the nature of evil, a subplot involving the war in Afghanistan and scenes of emotional upheaval to little dramatic effect.

The banks being targeted are all owned by a tycoon named Hubert (Willis). The FBI team investigating the robberies committed by bad guys wearing elaborate, videogame-inspired masks, is led by the gruff Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni), who is emotionally tortured by the killing of his fellow agent/wife during an undercover sting. Meloni does the best that he can with his clichéd role, and the supporting players occasionally manage to convey that they actually care about the material, which is more than anyone else will be able to say.
