" An ex-NYPD officer-turned-sheriff of a small rural Georgia town has to contend with a gang of thieves who have taken a wealthy doctor hostage." IMDb
The film stars Bruce Willis, Rob Gough and Timothy V Murphy. (Directed by Edward Blake)
The plot sounds symple enough, a gang of people take a local doctor hostage trying to find out about the sister of one of the gang who went missing 10 years ago.
Willis plays the crusty old town sheriff and has to deal with the seige until the FBI arrive.... at least thats the simple version. Throw in a few murders, a drug lab, a town leader and corruption and it's actually a lot more comlicated.
Sadly yet again not one of Willis best film, this is no Die Hard, in fact like most of Willis recent movies he plays a smallish roll. That said it's one of his better recent films, even if he did do all his footage in one day (nov 7th 2021). The whole film only took eight days to make.
So whats it like, well to be fair it doesn't look low budget and it doesn't look like it's shot in a week. It's a bit slow and while there is action more or less from the star I found the pace dragged a bit. The baddies were a bit over the top but I've seen worse, and Willis give it a good go.
Waynes rating 6/10 Well worth a watch if your a Willis fan, but I'd probably not pay to see it in an expensive movie theatre, I'd wait till it hits DVD or tv, not long I suspect.
