Same old recipe. Put Bruce Willis on the poster. Tickets get sold. Producers happy. Bruce Willis happy. Audience NOT happy! Why not? Because Bruce is only starring in this movie for less than 15 minutes in total. Like in all of his B-movies in the last years.
Bruce Willis has gotten a tummy lately and he almost seems drugged by something, because he is mumbling in such a catatonic, wooden way. His wooden appearance (mumbling, no expression) seems to get worse with age. He really looks old now and fatigued. Better retire Bruce, but I guess he has got some kind of suffocating contract that obliges him to keep turning out 5 movies a year.
Not any good then? The supporting actors in this movie are actually better than Bruce Willis' acting performance. Luke Wilson is even starring in it! He is a funny fella! Although in this movie he is acting seriously. But his performance is allright.
More "good": The photography is quite decent. The editing is as well. The story aint ridiculous. That's a plus. It's not really thrilling, although it aint terrible either.
From all the crap Bruce has been churning out lately, this is one of the not so terrible movies... NOT recommended though ofcourse...
B R U C E
At an (excrucially) important sidenote, let us not forget WHY we are watching Bruce Willis movies to begin with. We watch Bruce Willis movies because of DIE HARD (1988). THE ONE AND ONLY BIGGEST ACTION AMERICAN ACTION CLASSIC OF THE CENTURY.
This classic is still standing strong after more than 30 years. Millions of people still REwatch it during every Christmas holiday. Recently a petition was launched to rename Nakatomi Plaza into DIE HARD plaza.
A life time achievement award for Bruce Willis is in the making as well, so I have heard...
DIE HARD (1988) NEVER DIES but is still ALIVE AND KICKING in 2022. Let's celebrate that!
