Second movie I watched the weekend and was a complete waste of my time.

I believe the original title was Breach, and it stars Bruce Willis.
I think the budget went on a couple of big actors and not on the production, because the production was terrible, it had a "B" movie feel/look without all of fun of a "B" movie

The writing and story was just utterly terrible. Bruce did the best he could with what he had but he couldn't come close to saving this movie.

The only positive to this movie is that it's one of them that makes you think "If this sh*t got produced, my movies have a chance"

If writing this stops at least 1 person from watching the movie and wasting their time, it was worth it.

The writer is some guy called Edward Drake, and I have seen on IMDB that he has written another Sci-fi movie starring Bruce Willis called "Cosmic Sin"... so I do not have high hopes for that either.

Save yourself an hour and a half and watch something else

Is it (somehow) any worse than Survive the Night (if such a thing is even possible)? That film, also (co-?)starring Bruce Willis was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. The story was boring. The (washed-out) cinematography was the worst I've ever seen in my life (which is weird because the guy photographed a previous movie that looks to have been well-shot). The actors clearly didn't want to be there... I was in a performing arts class in high school with better directing than that! It was more boring than The Midnight Sky.

It has a worse score on IMDB (4.1 Survive the night, 2.9 Anti-Life) but I haven't seen the former so I can't compare.

It's hard to imagine anything worse than Anti-Life. I just don't understand how anyone who read the script thought it was a good idea to make it... the plot is so all over the place, and the tone randomly shifts to comical at one point but still tries to be serious.

So, it's not completely without value ;)

Sadly that isn't even the case! This movie was produced by co-writer and supporting actor Corey Large. Same deal with Cosmic Sin.

Reminds me of the opening credits to Young Einstein. Seeing Yahoo Serious show up as writer, producer, director, star, and stunt performer had me thinking "If you don't like this movie, you'll know exactly who to blame."
