Marauders

This isn't a bad crime-thriller, though its convoluted plot, reliance on close-ups, and slightly misleading marketing do slightly undermine its potential. The bank robber gang is pretty neat; the masks, the routine etc., and the robberies (as well as exteriors/build-up) are shot well. Let's get one thing straight: this isn't a Bruce Willis film. It's a Christopher Meloni film. While the film centers around Bruce Willis' character, he is in it for just a few scenes, and Dave Bautista, while a super cool FBI detective, is also relegated to just a handful of scenes. I'd bill Adrian Grenier as co-lead given how important his character is and how much screen time he gets.

C+

This was decent but always had the feel of been-there-done-that in its proceedings. I liked the twist in the end but its still a unnecessarily convoluted plot. The bank robbery was done really nice and provided good thrills. Christopher Meloni and Adrian Grenier do really well here and Bruce Willis is only in few scenes without much to add to the story, Dave Bautista had more scenes than Willis and he is good in this.
