Plot

[edit | edit source]

Photojournalist Shannon Mathers embarks on a solo hike to scatter her father's ashes. Along the way, she witnesses a secret drug deal involving corrupt cop Billie Jean Stanhope. Shannon hides and takes pictures of it, but she is discovered and chased. Newly retired city police officer Jack Harris just lost his wife to cancer and went to a remote mountain cabin owned by his niece Pam to get over his loss. While walking thoughtfully in the woods, Jack runs into Jean as she is about to execute Shannon. He draws his gun and tries to take Shannon away, but from then on they must escape a network of violent and corrupt cops and their sheriff Hank Rivers, who is running for mayor.

Production

[edit | edit source]

Filming occurred in November 2020. Complications with COVID-19 safety protocols created difficulties in getting the cast and crew cleared to shoot and delayed production for several days. As a result, the entire film was shot in nine days and all of Bruce Willis's scenes, which included 25 pages of dialogue, were shot in only one day.[10] Out of Death is one of the last films to star Willis, who retired from acting because he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Release

[edit | edit source]

The film received a limited theatrical run and was released on demand by Vertical Entertainment on July 16, 2021.[11][12]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 0% of 12 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 2.5/10.

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated it 2 out of 5 and wrote: "The film squanders one or two promising plot ideas, and winds up making a hamfisted paean of praise to the idea of “open carry” gun ownership."[13] Todd Jorgenson of Cinemalogue gave the film a negative review and stated, "The cryptic title is about the only intriguing facet of this formulaic cat-and-mouse thriller."[14] Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com gave the film a 'D−' and stated, "The latest stop on the 'Is Bruce Willis okay?' tour of VOD cinema."[a][16] Peter Sobczynski of eFilmCritic.com gave the film 1 out of 5 stars and stated, "An astonishingly lethargic and empty-headed action-thriller."[17] Mark Dujsik of Mark Reviews Movies gave the film 0.5 out of 4 stars and stated, "One ends up feeling pretty bad for everyone involved."[18]

Accolades
