I appreciate the dark nature of the story, but <em>'Acts of Violence'</em> is poor in most other areas; despite some decent cinematography in parts.
Bruce Willis, first and foremost, barely features, so if you're watching this just for him then you will be disappointed. The rest of the cast aren't anything to be remembered, though Cole Hauser is a cut above his castmates.
The premise is poorly crafted. It begins at its worst point, with average set up and monotonous character introductions. It then raises the bar slightly, before actually seemingly ending at a high moment. Unfortunately, as what felt inevitable, they add a needless extra twist at the death which ruins a potentially satisfactory conclusion.
Not much to enjoy with this one, unfortunately. At least it is short.
