Cosmic Sin is available to watch through VOD and digital platforms as well as select theaters.
It can be far too easy to pick apart low-budget schlock, but every so often a real gem of a turd like Cosmic Sin rolls along and it's just a maddening experience. Headlined by Frank Grillo (the Purge franchise and the MCU) and "mostly uses a bald double now" Bruce Willis, Cosmic Sin is an excruciatingly dull, uninspired serving of shoddy sci-fi nonsense filmed in parking lots, warehouses, and woods.
Willis, one of the world's most famous action stars, used to be a really animated and charismatic performer -- and for whatever reason decided to stop trying after...2012's Looper, maybe? He has since done two dozen of these shoddy VOD actioners and basically Plan-9-from-Outer-Space's his way through the film, very obviously shooting many of his scenes on his own, with none of his co-stars present. Every so often his character, retired space general James Ford, chimes in with a line like "shut up" or "this is a bad idea," reacting to no one, while, on the flip side, the other actors play their scenes with a bald man, only seen from the back, who is probably not Willis.
With garbage-looking space suits, flat effects, and an ample about of blue and red lighting to suggest "science fiction," Cosmic Sin revolves around Willis' General Ford being brought back into action after, a few years earlier, detonating a "Q Bomb" to stop a rebellion. He's a polarizing figure, this "Blood General," but that's because apparently, half the population has entirely the wrong opinion about ghastly war crimes. Grillo's General Ryle wants Ford on his small squad because he needs someone who has no problem exterminating things. And so off they all go, into a dreary, tedious firefight with body-snatchers that, at times, turns the corner and becomes slightly hilarious because of how little sense it all makes.
Cosmic Sin could have easily felt like a finished, albeit cheap, film if it at all contained a continuous through-line of cast consistency. The final act features some of the characters looking absolutely ridiculous, doing the preposterous, in the name of some gross ideas about conflict. It's also morbidly lazy when it comes to its sci-fi ideas, lifting just about everything you see on screen from other, better, exhibits.

Cosmic Sin is an excruciating watch, top to bottom, featuring an absolute mess of camera work, scenes where actors don't interact with one another, and bottom barrel sci-fi leftovers. In the end, you might be left feeling sad more than anything else, and not because of anything the film is intentionally trying to make you experience.
IGN's Matt Fowler pans Cosmic Sin, a VOD actioner starring Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo, as an excruciating and dull mess of sci-fi nonsense. He criticizes the film's disjointed plot, flat effects, lazy ideas, and gross message of war crimes.

A few, however, are VERY short reviews that talk about how brilliant it is...a sure sign normally of fake reviews done by folks connected with the film...which is pretty shameful. 103 out of 107 found this helpful.
