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...

Survive the Game is a non-stop action thriller that takes you on a joyride through the homestead of a broken veteran.

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.

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.

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

Messy, corny, bad acting, worse script. Wanted to like it because of Bruce Willis. This is the first time I’ve seen a movie where I thought he was a bad actor. This director must be awful to make Bruce look bad in a role like this. Too many characters, all underdeveloped or undeveloped. Ridiculous really. Had it on in the background while doing something else and still had to turn it off after a while.

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.

If ya go to right to 14 Minutes & 14 Seconds into this movie watch an look behind the guy holding the girl with the knife to throat you'll see a Cast Member with a Mask on that's filming the movie. That is a complete and major screw up on this directors part an for it to be a Lionsgate Movie makes it even worse that they would pass this movie and be apart of it. Jeez then to have Bruce Willis in it y'all should have actually watched an paid attention to your movie before finalizing it. Why I'm only giving this film a 2 Star Rating. Sorry but to be in Hollywood an have major actors in your film 🎥 man that's a major rookie screw up wouldn't you agree!
