Marauders, a movie brought to you by the director Steven C. Miller which revolves around the investigation and chase of a group of criminals that were heisting Hubert National banks. With the course of the investigation, led by Special Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) of the FBI with some minor help from the local police department, they find out that the heists have a connection with the owner of Hubert National, Hubert (Bruce Willis).I felt empty watching this movie. The story itself was kind of predictable, with a lot of hints to who were the bad guys (which should be kept a mystery until the end in this kind of plot), breaking my curiosity, leaving the movie to be dull. There were a lot of slow motions, off point slow motions, completely unnecessary. I don't like to use this word, but some lines throughout the movie felt cringy. And there was a lot, in my opinion, of pointless drama. To be fair, they did find a way to connect the drama to the main plot, but still, it would be a lot better without it in the movie.Even though the movie was predictable, there were some minor surprises towards the end of the movie, and still, the ending felt so meh. So many possibilities and yet they decided to end the movie like many others, nothing new to see here.This movie had a lot of potential. I never saw heists in movies performed like the ones in this flick, and the motivation of the criminals was interesting and different. It could've been explored differently, in a more captivating way, in a more distinct way. Disappointing.With all its flaws combined, not too long with 107 minutes, it can still be an interesting movie for people who love crime and police movies, but for me, it just didn't do the trick. A solid 5 out of 10.

This is my first review and I thought I would be doing people a favor by sharing it with this movie. First of all I watched this movie on Netflix so I didn't waste my money, but my time. I don't know what else is to be said about this movie. It is a simple yet convoluted plot of a bogus story.I get people like bank heist movies because they like the idea of crime but everything in this movie was just convoluted that the ending we did not care at all what happened. The cast is mediocre especially with a lazy Bruce Willis phoning it in. That old goofball WWE wrestler, the guy from Entourage and the other cop from CSI or whatever.Too much happens in here and it seems like the directors intentions were he thought it were good ideas (hah!).Conclusion, avoid Mauraders like a plague. If you want a clever bank heist movie, go watch Hell or High Water.

This movie is so bad. The actors are good (Bruce Willies, The FBI agent and the actor from Entourage) but the movie is so predictable you have the feeling through the whole movie that you have seen this already. The script is really bad. Give this a miss and watch something else instead.

No that is not a typo, I meant to write that. The sum of it all does not amount to what some of it is worth it. And I'm talking as a stand alone. If you've been keeping tabs on Bruce Willis you may have noticed him popping up in the odd movie or two in the recent past. Everybody needs money of course, though some do not look kindly on someone like Bruce giving his name to some of the projects he participated in. This movie can be seen as one of the better ones he chose.Putting that out of the way and the fact, he has a couple of interesting scenes, playing it mostly safe, still being effective, there are quite a few people here. But not many get really taken advantage of as much as it would be possible. And I'm not even talking Torrie Wilson or others who have very short appearances in this. No, I mean people like Bautista, Adrian G. or Jonathan Schaech. Although the latter may have the best of it. After a weak introduction, he gets quite a bit of screen time. And he delivers. Anyway, the movie is suspenseful enough to keep you interested all the way through, but it's not a real highlight. Something it could've been
