[A] slick and well-paced if uninspired time-filler ... Go to Full Review

A gross, creepy and generally tacky piece of claptrap. Go to Full Review

What could've been a decent cheap thrill is really nothing more than a somewhat unhealthy way to kill 85 minutes. Go to Full Review
Laura Hiros Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX) Mar 14, 2018
2/5
If you want a dose of bullets and all kinds of aberrant acts, you can expect plenty of them in the film that, as the name implies, "Acts of Violence", is specially designed for it. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It's brutal work, no surprise there, but the production doesn't consider material deeply, going the urban western route, rendering the feature completely useless. Go to Full Review

Feb 22, 2019 Is it bad direction or bad acting???
Albus S Feb 8, 2019 This is a shoot them up really bad guys kind of film. The bad guys are bad without redemption much and the good guys are well armed and dangerous. This is war, man. Not sugar coated war. See more
Rey S Jan 24, 2019 Bruce Willis must be in a desperate need for money to take part in such a movie!
Albus S Jan 8, 2019 It was not that bad as IMDB claims. Acting was better then expected. Story is straight forward, no surprices. Except the death of 1 player, I did not see that one coming See more
Jan 5, 2019 While i don't hate this movie and i think this film has a couple fine performances and sleak setpieces, what makes this movie so low for me is the weird nature and emotionless action sequences, which is all complemented by the sense of aimlessness and a final battle that was pointless and hopeless.

Poe R Dec 30, 2018 Awesome movie! Bruce Willis taking on rolls showing people getting it done what wouldn't normally get done! Action packed, thrilling! Love how all the new movies showing men taking law into their own hands because if they didn't they'd never see their family again. Yet all getting bad reviews for the dumbest things....like the sound really! Check out Death Wish! See more
