![]() But Noah has another issue to see to as he grabs the Admiral's daughter, Hayley, from cryostasis. Luckily, Clay used the liquid in his moonshine, which allows them to retrofit canisters to flame throwers to try to make it to the escape pods. The Admiral (Thomas Jane) already lured a bunch of them to him, only to suicide bomb the room, but the body parts reformed themselves into a giant meat monster a la The Thing to now start hunting the remaining humans. But the horde's bearing down on them and the crew has limited numbers. ![]() However, while Cody is on janitor duty he realizes that the acid in his cleaning liquid can melt the zombies. However, having big names in what feels like a low-budget movie with a short film plot? Honestly, I just don’t get the point of Breach.īut hey, maybe this is exactly your jam, so do check it out if you think the trailer looks awesome.īreach is out on VOD and in select theaters from December 18, 2020.Teek, one of the engineers, admits he brought the prehistoric creature on board as he's part of a resistance that doesn't think humanity needs a second chance. I enjoy a retro style and any good kitsch vibe. While I accept and respect that there is an audience for movies made in a retro style, I personally feel it misses the mark in that regard. You might like: Our season 1 review of Sweet Home out on Netflix now > If you want something with lots of blood and people turning into creatures, then you should definitely check out the new Netflix series Sweet Home instead. Also, the few “twists” that do come along are extremely predictable. Sure, there is plenty of blood and many of the characters (that you never really get to know or care about) turn into zombie-like creatures. So? I can get that in a million other movies where I do actually get to know and care about the characters. The women we do see are all pretty damn cool (again, in classic sci-fi and horror style), but still.Īgain, if this had been made into a running joke in the form of campy satire, then fine, but that’s really not the case.ĭirected by John Suits ( Pandemic, 2016) and written by Edward Drake and Corey Lange, Breach should have had a lot going for it. Unfortunately, when there are so many characters (that hardly get introduced) and such a simple plot with no real surprises or any real edge, then you easily become indifferent as a viewer. In a story which is supposed to be taking place in the future. ![]() Still, for this to actually work, the other characters should be much more over the top.Īlso, it’s been more than 40 years since Alien and yet, it seems like we almost have fewer women working on board this spaceship. However, I can accept that his character would be more of a “straight man”-character in this story. ![]() Sure, you can argue that Bruce Willis is doing a sort of “John McClane in Space”, but calling it kitsch or campy would be going way too far. Okay, and also the abovementioned Kassandra Clementi, who isn’t in nearly enough scenes. That’s how you do kitsch and this is what could have made the movie work. Now that I can understand and appreciate. I mean, he is wearing sunglasses to come across as a total badass… while on a spaceship. Out of all the actors in this movie, the only one who seems to be playing his character in an all-out kitsch way is Thomas Jane. No, not the Bruce Willis character, since he’s more of a janitor type.Īn offhand comment about Hayley (Kassandra Clementi) having left West Point due to her pregnancy turns out to be important later. Let’s just say she really kicks ass and is pretty damn cool. She’s a very pregnant woman, whose father has a key position on the spaceship. This is not due to Cody Kearsley’s performance but simply because the plot is so messy.Īctually, the big surprise in terms of characters came from Australian actor Kassandra Clementi who plays Hayley. In Breach, he plays a character so ordinary, I almost forget him as soon as the credits began. Most recently, he’s been in both the Netflix series Daybreak and in the Riverdale series. Thomas Jane ( Stephen King’s 1922 on Netflix) and Rachel Nichols ( The Amityville Horror, 2005) are just a few other of the familiar faces you’ll see in this movie.Ĭody Kearsley plays the lead character, Noah, and he’s yet another actor you might recognize. With a cast headed by Bruce Willis ( Die Hard, Glass), there is a definite big-name recognition advantage for Breach.
