Wonderfully offbeat film!
Asad Almond
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

What a great movie... there wasn't a dull moment during the film, (the moment when you grab your phone) but solid from the start.

A professional robbery at the Hubert National Bank in Cincinnati draws the attention of the FBI. Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) heads up the investigation. His wife was killed and tortured. It still bothers him. He is assisted by Agent Wells (Adrian Grenier) who also acts as a liaison with Mims (Richie Chance) a local policeman who skirts the law and has a stage 4 wife. The bank is owned by Hubert (Bruce Willis) sounds like Hubris whose brother was kidnapped and killed by rogue Rangers in Iraqistan. Wells is the new guy and former Ranger.The plot is a bit twisty. The theme is stated by Montgomery, "Nobody thinks they're the bad guy" as everyone believes they are working for the "greater good" as Wells calls it. I liked the film , but it keeps on on their toes, i.e. not as simple as a Seagal film. Decent acting and dialogue.Guide: F-word. Very brief nudity. No sex.

The premise of Marauders is too stale, and that's worsened by redundant characters, a story with no rhyme or reason and dialogues which consist of tedious arguments with multiple variations of the "F" word, because the characters are laughably tough. I have to clear out the rude language isn't the real problem, but just a symptom of the lack of imagination of the screenplay. Despite so many arguments and violent clashes between the huge egos of the characters, Marauders goes by with an unbearable slowness, revealing obvious "secrets" which don't draw the attention or form a coherent story. What is more, the performances from Christopher Meloni, Bruce Willis, Adrian Grenier and Dave Bautista feel poor and listless. Regarding the women, they are relegated absolutely generic roles; among them: policewoman with a horsetail; sick wife; and blonde reporter. As regards the action scenes, they lack any excitement or emotional context to bring them dramatic relevance. In summary, Marauders is a horrible movie, and an absolute waste of time.

For those unfamiliar with the title, 'A marauder is someone who roams around looking for things to steal.' With that concept in mind writers Michael Cody with Chris Sivertson have fashioned a whodunit that is loud, fast moving, crude and entertaining as directed by Steven C. Miller (Arseanl, Submerged, Extraction, Silent Night, etc). The plot is complex not only because of the use of masks hiding the marauders' identities, but also the interplay of corruption both corporate, military and police/FBI, and the high level of noise that covers the little dialogue there is. The story centers around a Cincinnati murder conspiracy and cover-up of an Army Ranger unit killed in a classified mission some years ago. When four armed robbers converge on Hubert National Bank, their motives throw suspicion on the bank's owner, played by Bruce Willis, and the corporate executives, as well as prominent politicians and high ranking members of the US military. The FBI Special Agent in Charge (Christopher Meloni), and his agents (Dave Bautista, Adrian Grenier, Johnathan Schaech, Lydia Hull) must decipher between truth and lies as he leads the investigation and even begins questioning whether members of his own team can be trusted. Each new twist unravels a deeper journey to determine who is truly innocent or guilty and who will ultimately find redemption. It becomes clear that a larger conspiracy is at play. Revenge plays a role, gangs are involved (Chris Hill, Texas Battle, etc), and the murders proceed until the true head of the marauding heisters is identified.Strong presence by Meloni and Grienier and Bautista carry the film and in the end the mystery is solved in fine style. The film is not unlike the multiple television crime dramas flooding the TV screens, so if that is your cup of tea, this is a worthwhile film to watch.
