Once Upon a Time in Venice has a little more of a spark than typical late-period Bruce Willis tough guy movies, but it's still a steep, disappointing tumble from his best work. Read critic reviews

That hissing sound you hear is the air being let out of Bruce Willis as he struggles mightily to reconnect with once-vital action-comedy chops in the dim, unfunny Once Upon a Time in Venice.

Of course Willis employs his trademark smirk and his familiar sarcastic line readings. Of course we've seen him play variations on this downtrodden, wisecracking cynic in better movies. But B-movie Willis is still kind of a hoot.

Once Upon a Time in Venice frequently sags underneath its own general lethargy, and not even the snarkiest John McClane can fix that.

It's as much a snapshot of a screwball neighborhood as it is a loose-ended shaggy dog story, with a weird, buoyant spirit that lifts it up over its somewhat sloppy storytelling.

Bruce Willis barks up a number of wrong trees in this scattered, only sparsely amusing shaggy-dog mystery.

Audience Reviews for Once Upon a Time in Venice

Jul 05, 2017I watch this film and just know there was an interesting film somewhere, unfortunately this isn't a Bruce Willis comeback. The film lacks that central performance, Willis has moments but the likable rebel role he was so great with, isn't there anymore. You know there must have been issues with the making of the film when the supporting actor narrates and is the most interesting. I've heard grumblings about Willis on set and much like Cop Out, also written by the same filmmakers here, he caused reshoots and unplanned scenes while filming. There are so many great actors, I can't feel but there is a giant missed opportunity with this film and it's very disappointing to see the results of a chaotic production. The first 15 minutes are quite good but after that it gets lost with a very simplistic plotline. 05-07-2017.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Jun 21, 2017A patently unfunny comedy, whose audience-gateway character is the most annoying of the bunch. Moderately uplifted by setting, the fact that Bruce Willis wasn't 100% phoning it in for once, John Goodman once again "going through some stuff", and the always endearing Jason Momoa... Who is apparently Mexican for some reason.Gimly M Super Reviewer
