One year ago, co-producers Randall Emmett and George Furla, director Mike Burns, and screenwriter Bill Lawrence collaborated on “Out of Death.” It was one of the worst films of 2021, with the low-budget VOD offering (reportedly shot in just nine days) doing next to nothing with performances and opportunities for excitement, basically remaining a dull, dim chase picture set in the woods. The team returns with “Wrong Place,” which, weirdly, is nearly the same exact movie, once again following characters as they deal with survival requirements while stuck in the woods. It didn’t work the first time, and it doesn’t have a chance to connect here, finding the production lacking bravery with their plotting and “surprises,” sticking with the same lethargic filmmaking as before. “Wrong Place” is a massive drag to sit through, barely showing signs of life as it hugs formula tight and trusts in the star power of Bruce Willis who, sadly, looks comatose, inspiring viewers to care more about his personal health than anything in the endeavor.
