Review of Forsaken

Forsaken (I) (2015)
2/10
Am I watching a Bruce Willis rip off?

Warning: Spoilers
Cliché is the word that absolutely describes this movie. Imagine all western common places and you get this movie spot on!

Nothing here is a surprise. Sutherland, the son, does not have what it takes to hold the movie. His performance is bland and has a conflicted tough action guy he leaves a lot to desire.

All the time I got the impression I has watching a bad Bruce Willis impersonation, brrrr! And it only got worse when the long-last ex girlfriend end up to be Demi Moore. Did the producers wish they had Willis? Some catching phrases also seem taken almost literally from Die Hard's script.

In the ending scene, I just laugh. The always-the-same narration over the image of the "hero" horseback riding to the horizon has he leaves town after saving everybody's live... LAME.

I didn't care about him. He just wasn't THAT type of hero.

The movie misses everything that could make it agreeable. Performances, scenery or direction AREN'T enough to help it. It's a forgettable one.

Solid performances from «the villains» and Sutherland - the father, though.
