Review of Marauders

Marauders (2016)
6/10
Decent acting interesting but undeveloped script missed opportunity

Warning: Spoilers
Before anything else; lets note that the best character and by far the best acting was Detective Mims played by Johnathon Schaech who is barely credited in the movie. Marauders starts interesting with a bank robbery and a killing that looks like an execution. From there it grows more intriguing until the first half and then becomes a big mess very poorly resolved and full of clichés.

Bruce Willis is an OK bad guy (it is not an spoiler; you can notice that on the first scene of the movie) but it is there for the check (which must be not much because he did not make any effort).

Meloni is as always good, Batista is better than expected (he has many talking parts) and Greener is sympathetic not that important. However, is Schaech who really makes a difference in this movie. His tortured character and his un-tameable personality are by far the best of the script; sadly by the end it cannot avoid the clichés either.

In brief: it is not that bad but is far from great
