Breach Movie Has Bruce Willis But It’s A Poor Man’s Alien

Behold, we’re diving into the world of “Breach,” also known by its alternative title “Anti Life” across various territories. When an opportunity arises to feature the indomitable Bruce Willis at no cost, it’s an absolute no-brainer to seize it. Who can resist a dose of Willis on screen? Even though some of his more recent ventures haven’t quite lived up to the legacy of the iconic Yipee ki-yay hero, Mother of Movies firmly believes in redemption. Perhaps even multiple redemptions. Willis’s filmography is adorned with an array of exceptional films, and that legacy permits the occasional overlook of roles where he appears less than fully engaged. We optimistically anticipate his return to form, ready to be obsessed once more.

‘Breach’ is an action and sci-fi movie onboard a spaceship ark bound for New Earth. I tried to ignore the 2.9-star rating averaged by more than 20,000 viewers. However, it’s hard not to go in with low expectations. It’s even harder when supporting performances lessen the excitement within the first quarter. As for Bruce Willis, well, he is just about the most exciting thing about this film.

Aliens, Stowaways, and Bruce Willis

Alongside Willis, who coincidentally, is not the lead in Breach is Cody Kearsley who plays Noah. Noah’s girlfriend is pregnant so it makes sense for him to impersonate a janitor and sneak onto the ship. But this is where the sensical part of the storyline ends. On top of that, things escalate way too quickly and seemingly out of nowhere. For example, it begins when two infected mechanics begin making moonshine not long after takeoff. A party is organized and romantic interludes are underway before you can even start to wonder where the alien force came from.

Then when it’s totally obvious that moonshine might be the source of the infection all hell breaks loose. One of the poor mechanics starts screaming “Get it out of me!” before admitting “It was just heartburn” and then seemingly imploding into another crew member’s face. I say seemingly because the implosion is off-screen. The other crewmember is attacked but doesn’t see it coming because the implosion alien has good aim. Some of the infected are agile, some behave like zombies and others are just bashing people into walls. They’re an eclectic bunch of interlopers and they can reanimate dead bodies at will.

Breach 2020, Staring Flamethrower

Whatever this species of alien is, the solution will always be flamethrowers. I’m assuming this to be the drawcard for some of the cast to make this film in the first place. No matter how small the setting or how absurdly popular flamethrowers are as a measure of defense, I can guarantee anyone would be all in if they get a turn on the flamethrower. At this point, I would have to say Flamethrower is the lead star. Willis had his turn on it, so he drank from a small flask for the rest of the movie.

Overall, a narrative of this kind is always going to start on the back foot. Especially given that the pinnacle of movies about aliens onboard a spacecraft was done a million times better than 40 years ago now. Directed by John Suits, many movie fans will be surprised to learn he produced the epic Cheap Thrills. Since turning his hand toward directing, 3022 and Pandemic didn’t fare so well with audiences. Writers Edward Drake and Corey Large contributed the story for Breach. Mother of Movies covered one of director Larges’ previous films, The Ninth Passenger, and let’s just say, I wasn’t a fan.
