Once Upon a Time in Venice (2017)

My Review

Bruce Willis’ career has apparently gone to the dogs in “Once Upon a Time in Venice.” This horribly written comedy action picture is about a private detective whose dog is kidnapped by gang members, with the film going downhill from there. The responsible party is first-time director Mark Cullen, who also co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Robb Cullen. Hopefully things will go better for the siblings in the future.

Co-stars include Jason Momoa, John Goodman, Thomas Middleditch, Famke Janssen, David Arquette, Adam Goldberg, Elizabeth Rohm, Stephanie Sigman, and Kal Penn. The unwatchable “Once Upon a Time in Venice” had limited theatrical release and video on demand for Voltage Pictures, Cullen Brothers Films, and RLJ Entertainment. It was primarily filmed in the Venice section of Los Angeles, California.
