Cosmic sin review3/30/2023 ![]() That being said, the performances from Brandon Thomas Lee, Costas Mandylor and Adelaide Kane were real standouts for me, with their superb acting, on screen presence and chemistry.īesides Wilis, Perry Reeves who plays Dr Lea Goss and C.J.Perry as Sol Cantos were a bit of a let down. You go from slowly following and understanding the premise to thinking that you’ve missed something because now you’re slightly confused at what’s just happened… things start to not make sense anymore. When the film hits the halfway mark it changes pace and the tone differs slightly. You get the impression that the film is almost finished. Things that might’ve been important were sadly missed. The start of the film is exciting and intense, and keeps you hooked with the premise of potential alien attacks, but at times the volume of the music and sound effects dilutes the dialogue and it’s hard to hear what is said. Ryle) seems to be compensating on his behalf. Even though Willis is known for being a charismatic actor and has starred in many films over the years, his performance in Cosmic Sin is extermely lackluster, and his partner Frank Grillo (who plays his boss Gen. ![]() I enjoyed seeing Mr Willis back on our screens again, but I was unsure of his character, James Ford the “Blood General”, from the moment he walked into that bar at the start of the film. What is lacking however is Bruce Willis’s presence as our lead character, despite his name being front and center of all the posters. In the hopes of the human race not becoming extinguished and to stop a potential interstellar war, these soldiers launch a precautionary strike against them.Ĭo-written and directed by Edward Drake, and co-written by actor Corey Large (who also stars in the film as Bruce’s bff Dash), Cosmic Sin brings you action, aliens, impressive looking weapons, as well as some sarcastic and funny humour. In the year 2524, 400 years since humankind was able to colonise the cosmos, Cosmic Sin sees 7 soldiers part of a team governed by “The Alliance” who are attacked by a newly discovered civilization of forceful aliens. The cast includes Costas Mandylor as Sean Bean, Lochlyn Munro, ENTOURAGE's Perrey Reeves, WWE star CJ Perry, and a pair of celebrity offspring with Trevor Gretzky (son of Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones) and Brandon Thomas Lee (son of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson), making this the biggest embarrassment to the Lee family name since Methods of Mayhem.Cosmic Sin is an American sci-fi film starring Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo and directed by Edward Drake. It's obvious neither he nor Willis were on the set at the same time, and a half-asleep Willis looks as bored and unengaged as most viewers will be. Grillo gets separated from the team when they warp to wherever they're going, and he's gone for about 25 minutes of screen time. And waiting, almost like the filmmakers are just killing time to get this to an appropriate feature length. After a surprisingly decent sequence where some alien-inhabited soldiers return to the Earth base and attack Willis and some of the others, COSMIC SIN just dies. ![]() The military commissions disgraced ex-general Willis, bounced out after ordering a "Q-bomb" on a rebel space colony that killed 70 million people, to lead a small band of space soldiers to the settlement for "Operation Cosmic Sin," a long-secret contingency plan to wipe out the alien species, which is able to inhabit the bodies of humans and attack like zombies. Set in 2542 for no reason whatsoever, COSMIC SIN deals with a first contact with an alien species at an outpost on a distant planet. ![]() Similar to BREACH, it's also a sci-fi alien invasion saga, and like BREACH, it has a brief ten-minute stretch where it actually turns into a not-bad B-grade horror movie before completely collapsing. Obviously, none of this means COSMIC SIN is a good movie, but it's at least more polished and professional-looking than the embarrassingly chintzy BREACH. Frank Grillo-what the fuck happened to you, man? Your ass used to be beautiful. Imagine if you can that you're in a VOD-era Bruce Willis movie and he's working harder than you are. I'm not sure what's up here, but Willis, taking his usual second billing, actually has more screen time and more co-star interaction than top-billed Frank Grillo. Bruce has two credited doubles here and they get a good amount of "back of the head" time, but as with BREACH, he seems to work a little bit harder on these than he did in the glory days of Lionsgate/Grindstone's landmark-and apparently on pause-"Bruce Willis Phones In His Performance From His Hotel Room" series. On the heels of last year's BREACH, COSMIC SIN is first of five (!) Bruce Willis VOD (well, call it an educated guess) titles due out in 2021 from Corey Large's 308 Entertainment, and all that really means is a max of ten work days for the ever-coasting DIE HARD icon.
