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.

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. Jun 16, 2017 | Full Review…

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. Jun 16, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Once Upon a Time in Venice frequently sags underneath its own general lethargy, and not even the snarkiest John McClane can fix that. Jun 16, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Jun 16, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Based on the fun work being done by most of the cast, this could have been an entertaining little genre exercise with the right leading man. Instead, it's a sad reminder that Looper may be the last good movie Bruce Willis will ever make. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Not funny enough or crazy enough, when it could be a "gangsters stole my dog" B-movie caper; Bruce Willis is amiable, John Goodman underused. Buddy the dog doesn't make an appearance for ages -- he deserved better (and I'm a cat person). Nov 8, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…
