Reprisal is not a very good movie, but it leaves you with tantalizing hints that some people involved with it are capable of doing something much better.
There’s virtually nothing to distinguish Reprisal from a thousand other cop-vs-robber B pictures, except for the violence.

Report
A mediocre action movie made in 2018. Another one of Bruce Willis' last term fiasco. I'm really sad watching it. Two of my favorite actors, Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo, are ruining their careers in both movies they played together. It's hard to understand why this duo has dropped to TV movie quality.
A bank is robbed. Bank manager Grillo. His neighbor is retired cop Willis. He is trying to find the man in these. That's the point. It's just comedy that American cops always stay on target and fall like a pear. No one can catch the man in the heart of the city.
There is no sex in the movie.
Report
Grillo uncharacteristically displays no charisma, although considering the material he's working with, it's not surprising that he looks like he simply gave up. Speaking of giving up, Willis, who provides a few sparks to the otherwise lamentable Death Wish remake, here reverts to his by now usual phoning it in.
The bottom line is that Reprisal is an extremely silly movie doing its damnedest to look tough and gritty and clever, none of which it is. In fact, it’s both tediously formulaic and weirdly puzzling.
It’s downright sad watching Willis go all half-assed in another movie. I guess we’re gonna have to wait for Glass to come out next year to see if Willis can do a movie in whole-assed form again.
A blandly gritty piece of late-August mayhem that’s as forgettable as its generic title.
Reprisal is at pains to profess its faith in the symbols of law and order, but it cannot fully repress its almost erotic longing for the unfettered violence of the terrorist.
Whether r you are a Bruce Willis fan or not you better keep reading this for your own good , Let me brake this to you about that movie which in my opinion has been underrated comparing to tons of shi%%y movies out there which has been rated even above 5 stars this isn't a perfect movie you'll see but it isn't as bad as some people wrote about it for me even if Bruce wasn't in it still it will make a good film to wast a time on ONLY IF you like Bank robbery kind of a movie it has that nice heist scene also some action included , Guns and a lot of it it also Olivia Culpo in it not perfect acting but still you got to see a nice face there , the story was fine so what more you need in order to watch it you will love it or you just forget about it as you did in most recently new days commercial movies but I assure you won't hate it or consider it a waste of time if your time is so valuable then watch it to kill your spare time so you won't regret watching it I wrote that review just because it seems so wrong to read all that negative reviews while some bad movies has been rated so high and I get fooled so many times for that turned out its all **** and a waste of time.
