Steve Ford is a down but not out L.A based Private Investigator whose professional and personal worlds collide after his loving pet Buddy is stolen by a notorious gang. A series of crazy circumstances find him doing the gang's bidding, while being chased by two vengeful Samoan brothers, a loan shark's goons, and a few other shady characters. They say a dog is a man's best friend, and Steve shows how far a man will go to be reunited with him. (RLJ Entertainment)

For being a classic Bruce Willis B-movie, the film is actually quite digestible and entertaining at times despite the completely flat and ordinary plot. The John Wick from Wish is held together by the ever likable Willis supplemented by amusing wisecracks here and there, and Jason Momoa's face and the fast-paced lightweight running time make Once Upon a Time in California easily skippable and unnecessary, but I wasn't significantly bored. In fact, I'm slightly surprised.

God. Filming such crap with such actors is just sad. Bruce Willis has been making crap movies lately, but John Goodman didn't deserve this, even though his character is traditionally good. Because he is good. But Jason Momoa is boring, Adam Goldberg is underutilized, and don't even get me started on Famke Janssen. And most importantly, the whole thing is just embarrassing.
