"Another Bruce Willis movie" could easily be at the end of any review.

[@robotrix]

It will be just like the last one

[@samuelvimes5770]

Who would have thought a holiday in Kings Landing could end badly?

[@troubadour723]

It's true -- Netflix does say Yes to everything.

[@narcolepticchihuahuaproduc1801]

Wrote it twice? Dude, I think losing it the first time was God’s way of saying “let it go.” But, I guess it was your duty to protect us. “I’m the Cinemasnob, I watch it so you don’t have to.”

[@minski76]

"another Bruce Willis movie" Probably a 50/50 chance at this point...

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

So the only "interesting" thing about this movie is that is happening in my country, and mostly in Split.

[@stcsuntzucreed]

wait, it's happening in Split? that actually might be the most unique thing about this movie.. Usually it's Zagreb or Dubrovnik

[@Sphynxs]

@@stcsuntzucreed maybe because Split is the best looking city in the world, Dubrovnik is overrated abd Zagreb is awful, dirty and the people are pretentiously stupid

[@87ventus]

I have just loved Bruce Willis since Moonlighting, I mean Die Hard is a classic. Why why does he not care anymore? The jokes are unfortunately spot on which breaks my heart. Something had to happen to make him change?? Damn oh well as always excellent, funny review glad You're keeping up the good work.

[@arctictwin9646]

I just don't understand how we were supposed to believe the cop killed her. We see her get out of his car all angrily. Did he park and go after her?!?!?! There would have been footage at least of him getting out the car.

[@mokkacappuccino2338]

I just watched the movie without seeing any recommendations or criticism on the movie I found out by doing that i enjoyed movies much more not knowing what other think of it I look at the feedback and criticism after finishing the movie ! I hive this movie a 10+

[@marikotrue3488]

At this point Bruce Willis has more new products hitting the market than many tech companies. I am waiting for Willis' people to announce his IPO or (let's hope not) an NFT.

[@DustyThePunk]

I see "based on best selling book" and instantly think it could be terrible and with 1 focused audience.

[@dudebuchanan]

So there is this movie called Martians Go Home that is about men, literally painted green that come to earth and tell bad jokes. It has Randy Quaid and Rob Schneider. Was also distributed in Italy as Spaceballs 2.....SERIOUSLY there's a poster and everything! Please consider reviewing it.

[@slothman1016]

Such a brave man! Taking the hits and holding the line for us, the viewers!

[@lollove9974]

I can agree too that

[@YukoValis]

Bruce Willis is like the reverse actor. Normally an actor needs to be in minor barely heard of garbage before making it big. Bruce seems to have started with the good stuff, and now is in the rubbish.

[@Iggsy81]

Eric Roberts is another one in that mould.

[@rememberpickles]

I am watching this on a bus and forgot my ear buds, so I'm relying on autogenerated captions. Is the friend really named Croatia or is that a captioning error?

[@louisduarte8763]

Vacationing in Croatia? With what else is happening in Easter Europe now? Are they nuts?!

[@ilkacolon7469]

Maybe because the movie was made before the war?

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Watched it on Netflix, forgot it premiered last week 56% on Rotten Tomatoes Felt like an above average Lifetime thriller but not low quality Lush scenery, plenty of suspenseful moments, and I like Leighton Meester in the lead desperate to find answers of what happened to her friend while on vacation The story twists build upon one another getting crazier and crazier The final shock at the end did surprise me even if some story threads make little sense

[@laurie8857]

Are there any films on Netflix similar but better than this that you would recommend? I saw this movie last night, and it served its purpose.. But more because I didn't know what else is out there

[@stevegeorge6880]

Somehow the description reminds me of that Midnight Express clone with Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale that was directed by the same guy who gave us the stepfather.

[@firefox1578]

Is that “ broke down palace”?

[@stevegeorge6880]

@@firefox1578 I think so. Then again, I think I might be confusing the director with another movie that had Vince Vaughn, Joaquin Phoenix, and Anne Heche. Trying to do this without recourse to Wikipedia and IMDb is hard.

[@MyYoutubeChannelBabyyyy]

Literaly no one in this movie acted like a human

[@Disney65Fan]

Saw it last night and the twist I did not see it coming. It was decent

[@Gibson1976uk]

I watched this! starts off good!! builds up!! starts to have twists and turns! goes a bit weird!! then starts falling apart!!! then turns into complete crap!!!

[@rv7733]

Yaa😭

[@fiyahriddims]

Cheating, lies and deception are taking lightly these days.

[@cBe9999]

'Another Bruce Willis movie'? Man, Saturday's come around so fast.

[@dynamosaurusimperious2718]

Cool video

[@JenMistress]

Yeah, think it comes to dead friend mystery, instead of watching this, I'll just play Martha is Dead. 😉

[@charlottecorday8494]

Hopefully you're not playing it on Sony's trash

[@kill4551]

It seems pretty clear to me that Willis has early-onset dementia or even alzheimers. He's not being fed his lines via earpiece because he's lazy, he's being fed them because he can't memorize them. Stories about how he used to be a genial guy but is now a raging ahole support it too, people with dementia often develop rage episodes and their personality can completely change. Also it's hard to explain but that vague 'I don't know what's going on' expression he sometimes has is a dead match for people I've worked with who have dementia. Hopefully the money he's making from these films is going to his family, because otherwise this feels like raw exploitation.

[@nicw3251]

Wow, you called it

[@joshuanesbit]

also didn't the police officer already admit to killing her 🥴

[@randomreviews4278]

I'm surprised Brad knows what gossip girl is

[@kill4551]

Why? He loves gilmore girls and sex in the city. brad is confident in his masculinity

[@Martynde]

Bruce Willis movie... Bruce Wayne movie... is there really much difference?

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

On Netflix Croatia movie is called... well... Weekend in Croatia...

[@lucijaremeta2483]

As a croatian i just love beeing mantioned😁😃

[@robertgiles9124]

Wonder woman defeats THREE different men in physical fights. Sure ....could happen.

[@black_mamba4409]

Im going to give them props for the fact that it was kinda hart to say who was a killer through the movie i was like is the killer her husband or the cop or the driver? But all in all the movie is just ok especially for shit u see on Netflix

[@crithon]

an hour and a half sounds better than watching a series

[@weirdkitty07]

This one ticked you off so much you're doing The Cinema Snob toward the end. It's like your character is morphed into you. Ha.

[@Emulous79]

I've seen much worse. Had a twist at the end I didn't see coming.

[@taylor1310]

Leighton was to good for this role. And ugh it was terrible at the end there jesus. The movie started off slowly then they hit u with a bunch of bullshit out of no were

[@doctorpi3340]

Hey Brad, instead of watching another Bruce Willis movie, why not give the movie Fresh on Hulu a try? I dug the hell out of it and I think you would too.

[@zorin79]

It's pronounced "Mister"...not meester

[@Emulous79]

Meester Crowley. What went on in your head.

[@demetriusalphonso4562]

Dumb but not boring 😂😂😂

[@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious]

He didn't try to edit his face into a weekend somehow in the thumbnail, I'm unfollowing.

[@DragoKwan]

400th like

[@luztirado]

That’s an hour and a half I will never ever get back. Horrible acting. Horrible script.

[@annajamjam1383]

The only good characters in this movie were Beth and Zain. The other characters were all assholes

[@pauobunyon9791]

This was another good and. very very stupid netflix movie that the network is famous for making ! Netflix is great at making good dumb films

[@stcsuntzucreed]

Huh... another american movies that knows shit about Croatia... shit like that wouldn't fly... at best she'd be under supervison as a possible witness if not for the fact she's a foreign national and she's closely involved in the case... Either way she'd be either under protective supervison by the police or outright detained... I serioulsy doubt she'd be allowed to go anywhere without police knowing about it...

[@complexslayers82]

Pathetic movie,so predictable!!!!
