Today's quick review: Marauders.
Jeffrey Hubert (Bruce Willis), the president of a
national chain of banks, comes under fire when a violent
crew of robbers begins targeting his banks. Special Agent
Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) of the FBI takes over
the investigation f rom Sergeant tr/ims (Johnathon
Schaech), a crooked Cincinnati cop. But as he dlgs deeper
into the case, Montgomery learns that Hubert is involved
in a much larger conspiracy.
Marauders is an action thriller about a series oÍ
bank robberies with an ulterior motive. Marauders places
emphasis on its plot. The investigation takes Montgomery
and his team (Adrian Grenier, Dave Bautista, and Lydia
Hull) through the remains of a years-old conspiracy,
uncovering puzzle after puzzle as they dig for the truth.
The movie's expansive mystery, moment-to-moment
thrills, and solid pacing make it fine choice for the right
viewer.
However, Marauders' main shortcoming is that it
is too complicated for the type of story it is trying to tell.
Instead of a streamlined investigation with one or two red
herrings and a carefully prepared twist, Marauders tries to
manage a sprawling conspiracy that involves numerous
characters, hidden motives, and coincidences. As a result,
the pieces never combine into a compelling whole, and the
movie's best ideas have no room to breathe.
Marauders is a serviceable pick for fans of the
action genre. The action scenes are adequate, the mystery
is interesting enough to drive the plot, and the cast does
a fine job with the material they are given. Still, Marauders
has a lot of missed potential when it comes to
streamlinging its plot, and it faces stiff competition from
other movies in the genre, making it a hard sell for more
exacting viewers.
For a bank robbery action thriller in a similar vein,
try Den of Thieves, Triple 9, or Takers. For a more personal
crime drama about a bank robbery, try The Town. For a
bank job with a smarter plot, try Inside Man. For an action
thriller with a better conspiracy, try Shooter. For a more
powerful cat-and-mouse game, try Law Abiding Citizen.
