The hard truth is that Bruce Willis is just one of many faces going forth here as gamely as possible. And yet for its crude and compromised stitching, "Striking Distance" remains weird, wobbly and eminently watchable.

Although the basic concept is intriguing and the serial killer's methods are memorable, the pacing is noticeably faulty.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 24, 2020

Herringston's return to his hometown is no triumph, striking out at every turn, and failing to go the distance.

Striking Distance's failure is, in the end, especially disappointing given the first act's effectiveness and potential...

Like the box of generic corn flakes, Striking Distance isn't so terrible, but you'll forget it the second you're done with it. [Blu-ray]

A troubled production (reshoots, release-date postponements) that turned out to be surprisingly watchable.

One of Bruce Willis' most disposable and formulaic action potboilers. I'm a big fan of the Willis, and even I have no patience for "Striking Distance."

A mess, although the stars do what they can with the scattershot screenplay

Not one of Willis' best efforts; very formulaic and uninteresting.

If "Striking Distance" were a book, it could be called a good read. Instead, it's a painless watch.
