COSMIC SIN
Cert 15 ★★
On digital and DVD from tomorrow
THESE days, having Bruce Willis on a movie poster isn’t a sign of quality.
It isn’t even a sign that it’s a Bruce Willis movie.
In recent years, the Pulp Fiction star has been happy to cash in on his famous pate with cameo roles in B-movies. So it comes as something of a surprise when he hangs around for most of this low-budget sci-fi.
It’s the 26th century and humanity has colonised other worlds with the aid of a “quantum” device that bends the rules of space time. They’ve also developed a solar systemdestroying weapon of mass destruction called the “Q-bomb”.
Willis plays a renegade general tasked with leading a crack squad of unknown actors (and Frank Grillo) to nuke the home planet of fascist aliens.
It looks cheap and makes very little sense but there are some fun fights and a couple of amusing lines.
Fans of Grillo shouldn’t read too much into his prominent place alongside Willis on the poster. He’s hardly in it.
Bruce must be fuming.
