“White Elephant” (*1/2 out of four) was a threadbare action thriller about an ex-Marine enforcer (Michael Rooker) who has to battle his own conscience and code of honor when he is forced to work for the mob and becomes caught in the crossfire of various underworld figures (Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Lorenzo Antonucci, and others). Good cast is wasted on a routine story of double-crossings and shootings; final 30 minutes (finally) delivers the goods but by the end it’s too late. Sadly, Willis’ real-life health problems are evident here.
