Breach (2020)

Written by CinemaSerf on November 6, 2023

Bruce Willis features far more in this than I was expecting! He is the hard as nails security man - who likes a drink - aboard a ship taking the last remnants of humanity from the now toxic planet Earth to a new home in outer space. "Noah" (Cody Kearsley), meantime, has smuggled himself onto the vessel so he can be with this expectant girlfriend and is soon apprehended by "Clay" who agrees to give him liberty for the 80-odd days of the journey while the rest of the crew are in stasis. Those days prove rather more eventful than anyone planned, unfortunately, as someone has smuggled a nasty creature onboard and that has wormed it's way into the stomach of one of the crew. All hell now breaks loose as it's clear this alien-cum-zombie is bent on spreading like a plague throughout the ship destroying all in it's path. Can they figure out a way to stop it? This is pretty poor, but nowhere near as bad as I'd feared. There is the semblance of a story, a recognisable plot and though the acting is wooden and the dialogue pretty inane most of the time, the scenario plays out well enough - if entirely derivatively - for ninety minutes. There aren't really any visual effects to moan about and Willis looks like he is having a bit of fun. Beware the last few scenes strongly suggests Anti Life II might be coming soon!
