So much so, that in an especially tense sequence, when Noah asks Clay, “ Where does that vent go?”, he languidly replies with, “ Vents go a lot of places, kid.” The effect is unintentionally goofy, the kind that often accompanies films that are acutely aware of their own superficiality. On the other hand, Willis belts out a bemused rendition of Clay, imbuing the film with sporadic moments of campy humor, rife with one-liners that come off as hilarious due to the fact that they’re so poorly-written. Kearsley seems utterly miscast as the lead in the film, as his wooden performance and lackluster screen presence do not help improve upon the film’s flimsy premise. Attacks will always connect and do a distinct amount of damage, the grid-based scenarios. Despite the horrifying-underdone of these sequences, Breach comes off more like a parody of compelling sci-horrors like Alien and The Thing, minus the deft execution, taut atmosphere, and overarching brilliance of these movies. Into The Breach is a tactical game that features a relative lack of probability, uncertainty, and risk. This shape-shifting alien infects one crew member after the next, liquifying their organs into black goo and using their bodies as a sentient skin suit meant to viciously attack whoever it encounters.
