Who payed the critics

Brilliant and touching

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Good svript good cinematography good acting. Just something missing here and there.

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.

Maybe if I had shut the film off of my Blu Ray player after the first 10 minutes of the snap and crackle Marauders provided I may have been able to convince myself and Mrs. Shullivan that this is such an action filled film with a great in depth plot that we should just savor the first 10 minutes. We could have then maybe, just maybe "assumed" that the rest of the film was just as suspenseful and intriguing that we would get too over excited if we continued to watch anymore.But ohhhhhh noooooo, just like most avid film goers we wanted to see more and more action filled scenes with a great suspenseful plot. That was our big mistake. Have you ever invested in any expensive fireworks such as The Jesters Revenge or the cheaper holiday firework staple such as the Burning Schoolhouse, proceeded to light the wick with anticipation of a burst of flame and color only to see the wick flare up with nothing but five (5) seconds of smoke and a dull Pffffft sound? Well that is how Mrs Shullivan and I felt the film Marauders let us down.There was such a convoluted plot that it reminded me more of the classic comedy skit by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello titled "Whose On First?" Each time a bank robbery occurred, or there was a flashback scene to the war where the U.S. special ops force were under heavy artillery gunfire we were fed another bit of a different plot line.Oh but film director Steven C. Miller saved the worse scenes for the films ending. Mrs Shullivan and I just looked at each other and said simultaneously "Well that was a confusing waste of time that I will never watch again."My advice to both film stars Bruce Willis and Christopher Meloni would be for "Brucie Boy" to stick to making another sixth sequel to the Die Hard franchise, and for Christopher Meloni to go back with his tail between his legs and rejoin the cast of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit because that TV series has went so far downhill after his departure. There was no chemistry at all between Willis and Meloni and the ending went out with a wimper and no bang. Even the macho charisma of Dave Bautista could not save this film from stinking badly. I give the film a poor rating of 3 out of 10. It is not worth watching at all.

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.
