He isnt even attempting to act in this trailer. He is basically just reading lines and staring in to space. I dont think i have seen someone phone something in this bad. This movie looks absolutely terrible.

All star cast.

Groundbreaking cgi.

Chad Michael Murray!!!

Bruce Willis wasn't phoning it in, that's just how he looks among professionals at the top of their game.

they really went all out when they blew up that 2003 toyata corolla as well. i guess you can do that kind of thing with a blockbuster budget.

He's been doing these kinds of movies for about 10 years now. They are direct-to-video, and he seemingly collects a paycheck for showing up for one day of shooting.

I dont get it. It seems it would cheapen his name and make him a joke amongst his other a list friends. Thats weird.

He started out as a comedic actor. Maybe this last decade has just been a long, Andy Kaufman-style piece of performance art.

Why do low budget flicks try to do things bombastic like that? Why don't they just make something that requires very little but do it very well? Like Bruce would be great in a film noire, black and white true to form flick. Find some old pulp novel, pay pennies for the rights to it and just make it. He'd be a badass detective and he wouldn't look so haggard in black and white. He'd look, classy.

I'll watch it on streaming video, happily so, over today's mish mash of woke sitcom trash. And do so with a smile on my face. When it is available to do so. And with the woke crap on TV today, I will be sure and look for it.

It may be bad, but it is better than watching regular TV.

But Bruce has been in several large movies in the last decade. Its not like he isn't getting other work. Why do these? It's so weird.

That would be cool. Some kind of 1950's hard boiled detective novel. Essentially his part in Sin City expanded.

I was hoping this was a remake of the 1994 Ice T flick.

The Chinese actor who dubs his lines actually does a better job of acting…so he's still popular in China.

Yes! There are so many really well written stories out there that are sitting dormant; you'd think someone would sell the IP cheap and then the producers aren't starting completely from scratch and hoping their bargain basement writers stumble across something halfway decent.

You hear that TCCTTSS? Make it happen bro. I've got 1k to throw at the picture. Crowd pool it, blockchain it, Bitcoin productions was born. DAO films. Let's collaborate!

This would have been much better with Nicholas Cage starring in it

Looking at his IMDB page I think you could omit his last 12 movies and no one would know.

Always thought his character's name in Armageddon just should have been "Bruce Willis."

I know the director James Bressack and I produced Breach/Anti-Life. Bruce gets $1.2 million per 10 hour day on these plus all the extra stuff.

120 grand per hour.

Watch the Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifinakis. He hits on this very subject ten years ago:

"Did you know that some actors turn down roles?"

"When you were making the Whole Ten Yards, did you ever worry it would be TOO good?"
