I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Loved it. It's almost as fun as Bruce's Moonlighting days. The only way this could get better is if it was the first part of a trilogy.

Steve Ford (Bruce Willis) 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. I'm trying to understand why Bruce Willis is still making movies i really do he could star in great movies such as Moonrise Kingdom and instead he chooses crappy comedies like this one. I didn't want to see Bruce Willis skateboarding threw the streets naked or an annoying comedic relief talking about his sex life it simply wasn't funny. Once Upon a Time in Venice is without a doubt inside the Worst Films from this Year and it doesn't make any Surprise to anyone right? (F)

I really love this kind of movies, lighthearted low ambition comedies with detectives or heists, sun and sea, and there are fewer and fewer being made. They can be really great, put in few famous actors that are having fun and it is a recipe for a classic.Unfortunately this is really bad, great casting on paper, but actors do not have fun, they act stiff, maybe because the script was poor (even though the basic plot itself isn't too shabby) or maybe they just didn't care. Goodman looks like he's focused on not falling dead at any moment, and Willis looks really uncomfortable outside of his standard action hero scenes. Jason Momoa's performance was the only one I felt up to star standards.Yes the actors are getting old and we can't expect blockbuster but I watched amazing comedies from Lemon, Matthau or Newman in their late years. This could be a gem and the wasted opportunity makes me really sad.

Bruce Willis with most famous for his Die Hard series and probably one of the best action hero in cinema history but in the past few years he kinda stuck with a bunch of horrible action movie which really upset me cause i used to be his fan. This wasn't an exception.This movie is about Bruce as a private detective (a very shitty one) solving crime around Venice until his dog get kidnapped by a local drug dealer played by Jason Momoa.This is a standard easy action comedy. But I have to mention, that movie is not very funny. I can't remember even one scene where I was laughing. Actually "Once Upon a Time in Venice" do not feel like a film. It feels like a pilot for a TV series.Once Upon A Time in Vence is OK movie to watch when you do not want to think too much, just relax take a beer and snacks.After a week you won't even remember this movie.Final rating: 5,5
