Plots(1)
After a number of banks owned by high-profile tycoon Hubert (Bruce Willis) are robbed by a group of elite terrorists, FBI agent Jonathan Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) and his team are called in to investigate. Upon learning that the rich and powerful use the safe deposit boxes of Hubert's banks to store confidential information, Montgomery starts to suspect Hubert himself might have something to do with the robberies. However, when more banks are hit and it becomes clear that the criminal's motivation is not the money, the FBI team begin to realise there is a much bigger conspiracy at hand. (Universal Pictures UK)

Bruce Willis is absolutely mental. I just don’t get how an A-class action movie actor ends up in this kind of crap. If they at least cast him as the FBI agent, he could have had tons of great lines. But no, he’d rather sign up for some fruity bank owner and moreover ends up being crap at it. ()
Whether it was the banter between colleagues, the Kevlar masks of the robbers, or the more personal battles with the cruelty of fate, there was for a while a certain appealing "Zahler-esque" spirit. However, the inability to meaningfully direct this feeling gradually stifled it. Marauders belongs to Christopher Meloni, so complaining about a guy who defines a supporting role with a story about a spider climbing a skyscraper and a few typical grimaces seems unnecessary. ()
An action film that's not particularly surprising, but one with a pretty good dark atmosphere, featuring a great Bruce Willis whom you believe in those tough situations. It also has interesting characters in the police force, with the final confrontation actually being quite superb in its minimalism. I had a good time, so it was good enough for an average rating. ()
