Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) and Chad Michael Murray ("Riverdale") star in this explosive crime-thriller. When cop David (Willis) is injured in a drug bust gone wrong, his partner, Cal, pursues the two criminals who shot him to a remote farm owned by troubled vet Eric (Murray). As Cal and Eric plot their defense, more of the gang arrives -- along with a wounded David -- and, outnumbered, the three heroes must use stealth, smarts, and marksmanship to take down the drug-dealing mob.

Bruce Willis continues his campaign of reputation self-ruin - not that he has that far to fall - with this cruddy, derivative action thriller...

Rated: 1/5

I am trying to convey that I think this movie was literally shot by high school kids over a couple weeks of summer vacation on their phones. With none of the charm and joy that implies.

Survive The Game may tell an oft-told story, but the script avoids most well-worn tropes in favor of a no-frills actioner.

Rated: 8/10

Common Sense Media

Illogical, poorly acted, poorly shot, and without a single good idea, this ridiculous action movie is yet another in a string of terrible Bruce Willis efforts.

Cinemalogue

After a creative opening-credit sequence, the inspiration runs dry for the remainder of this hackneyed low-budget thriller.

It's limp work from Bressack, who's been handed a rural property to play with but simply churns out the same old VOD product.

Another immaturely messy turkey trying to mimic the decently basic thrills with barely any coherent or serious effort except for lazy prolonging while also shooting down the desired dialogues. The only intrigue this weak action flick provides is Chad Michael Murray and Swen Temmel's dynamic, albeit a weak, subpar script they were given. (C)

Every idea from this movie is borrowed and then done poorly. Willis is on a losing streak of making movies post 2000s and this is a doozy. Shaky fight scenes can't save the reheated script and characters.
