It has been rather bewildering to witness no less than two dozen low-budget action movies involving Bruce Willis being churned out over the last three years. That legacy-dimming run ends with “Assa…
,” which arrives almost exactly one annum after his family announced a retirement due to diagnosis of cognitive disorder aphasia . Like nearly every preceding opus featuring the erstwhile global superstar in roles of prominent billing but little screentime, this rote genre exercise is little more than a time-killer, and as such a regrettable close to a significant career. Saban Films is releasing it to U.S. theaters, digital and VOD platforms on March 31.
That means donning a wetsuit, getting in an ice-filled clawfoot bathtub in an abandoned factory and somehow taking over the minds of complete strangers in order to assassinate the subordinates protecting international villain Adrian . He is in possession of the high-tech thingie that will restore Sebastian’s consciousness, and should be eliminated to make the world a better place, anyhow.
Firsttime feature director Jesse Atlas calls “Atlas” an “exploration of identity,” and in theory, it’s the sort of thinky sci-fi that requires little or no expensive visual flash — nor does it get any here. But such enterprises need ingenious plotting and credible characters to compel attention. Unfortunately, this movie pretty much consists of figures sans backstory or much personality killing others with even less of either, in episodes minus any particular flair for action or suspense.
Not helping suspend our disbelief is the cheap depiction of supposedly futuristic technology , and other factors that speak to nothing but the film’s own limited budgetary resources. Imaginative indie sci-fi films have been made on yea slimmer means. But they had the cleverness and emotional engagement that the director and Aaron Wolfe’s screenplay lacks.
