“Survive The Game” (*1/2 out of four) was a sub-routine action potboiler about a dedicated family man (Chad Michael Murray) whose life is interrupted when an over-the-hill cop (who else but Bruce Willis?) and a group of criminals (Donna D’Erico, Sean Kanan, Swen Temmel, and others) show up and they all turn on each other. Hard to believe that a similarly titled (“Survive The Night”) film with the same stars (Willis and Murray) could come out in the same year but maybe this really is proof that action filmmakers are bankrupt of new ideas. Willis sleepwalks his way through this and picks up another easy check; this one will die hard and fast at the Redbox machines.
