It's hard to maintain coherence in a movie this busy, which goes all over the place and overcomplicates a simple "cops and robbers" setup for no reason.

| Feb 3, 2023

Gun violence, lots of language in solid action thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 16, 2020

Meloni does the best that he can with his clichéd role, and the supporting players occasionally manage to convey that they actually care about the material, which is more than anyone else will be able to say.

| Apr 13, 2020

Willis is going through the motions, but Christopher Meloni delivers a far more committed performance as the determined FBI agent investigating the case.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2017

A muddled VOD mediocre bank-robbery thriller that never adds up even when everything is tallied at the end and all the pieces fall into place.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 7, 2017

Just because the protagonist is none other than the legendary action hero Bruce Willis, there would be no other reason to pay attention to this film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 17, 2017

Ropey dialogue and a loopy story undermine everyone's efforts to lend credibility to a far-fetched thriller.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 23, 2016

Marauders suffers from an affliction that's increasingly rare, if not unique, in the annals of modern gritty cop thrillers -- it is all plot and no drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2016

Meloni shines as the film's hardened protagonist, an archetypal detective, an anti-hero, stoic, flawed and complete with a murky past - but vitally, somebody we always root for.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 20, 2016

It is hard to care when the entire thing feels like a tired rehash of stock elements. And, no, adding Bruce Willis' smirk and a perfunctory twist at the end does not help matters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2016

Bruce Willis sleepwalks his way through yet another generic role in Steven C. Miller's Marauders; a muddled and a painfully formulaic actioner which fails to offer anything even remotely original.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 1, 2016

There is just too much -- too many characters, conniving, and convolution -- to keep track of, and in the end, so little of it really seems to matter.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 1, 2016

As B-grade movies go, this is pretty much par for the course - the plot is an excuse to show choreographed mayhem and that is what director Miller has concentrated on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 15, 2016

It just isn't particularly well told, with both character motivations and plot twists alike lacking much in the way of coherence and proper development.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 15, 2016

It's tough for anything of note to happen in the movie when every character is dedicated to explaining everything on screen. And yet, somehow, nothing is clear or, in the end, all that interesting.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 7, 2016

It's a bank-robbery thriller and a "political" expos all at once: No wonder this overly elaborate potboiler turns into a muddle.

| Jul 7, 2016

Marauders is not a monumental effort by any means, but some solid acting saves a fledgling script that tries to be a million different thrillers at once.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 1, 2016

It's pulp, but it has real actors doing real acting in a gritty story -- which is a lot more than can be said for some of the much more high-profile buddy cop movies of the last couple of years.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 1, 2016

One assumes that every film has a creative impetus at some point in its production, but it's incredibly hard to find one buried underneath this morally vile, incompetently made thriller.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jul 1, 2016

Willis' workaholism benefits "Marauders," an otherwise plain action picture carried by strong performances and a mildly compelling mystery.
