Written and directed by Aaron Harvey, “Catch .44” is a crime thriller that failed to impress back in 2011. According to Rotten Tomatoes, audiences gave the film only a 14% approval rating. The film’s box office earnings failed to make up for its poor reception. “Catch .44” earned less than $300,000 during its theatrical run (via Box Office Mojo), despite a cast boasting Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker, and a talented trio of lead actresses: Malin Akerman, Nikki Reed, and Deborah Ann Woll.

Drug lord Mel (Willis) has a plan to eliminate three of his more problematic employees. He sends Tes, Kara, and Dawn (Akerman, Reed, and Woll) to a diner under the guise of picking up a drug shipment. In reality, he’s sending them to be executed by another team that he’s hired to wait at the diner. Ronny (Whitaker) learns of the plot and comes to rescue Tes and her friends, but mistaken motivations and a series of shootouts leave the outcome anyone’s guess.
