Are his glory days over? He was in bad movies before, but it seems like he's been idoing nothing but bad movies lately. Here's a look at his 2020s output so far:

Cosmic Sin (2021) IMDb Rating 2,5
Breach (2020) IMDb Rating 3,0
Out of Death (2021) IMDb Rating 3,1
Hard Kill (2020) IMDb Rating 3,3
Survive the Night (2020) IMDb Rating 4,1
Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021) IMDb Rating 4,4

2010s

Air Strike (2018) IMDb Rating 3,2
10 Minutes Gone (2019) IMDb Rating 3,6
Extraction (2015) IMDb Rating 4,1
Vice (2015) IMDb Rating 4,2
Trauma Center (2019) IMDb Rating 4,2
Reprisal (2018) IMDb Rating 4,3
Setup (2011) IMDb Rating 4,4
The Prince (2014) IMDb Rating 4,6
Precious Cargo (2016) IMDb Rating 4,6
Lay the Favorite (2012) IMDb Rating 4,8

They don't even look like so-bad-so-good. They look like this-sucks. I wonder when Willis will make his first appearence in an The Asylum movie.
Is it October yet?

His last few big movies I saw him in, he just didn't seem to care about. His press interviews have been notoriously bad in recent years with him openly criticising his own movies.

I think he's just acting for the paycheck - which can't be all that much as most of these go direct to video or streaming - and it's sad really: I always liked him.

I don't think I have ever seen a Bruce Willis press Interview. So basically he doesn't care and only does them for the paycheck.

I can only think of one movie with him I liked- and that's PULP FICTION.

I always get things thrown at me when I say that I liked Hudson Hawk but I did and do.  :smile:

Agreed: the only good sequence was where he kills the Ice Cream Man.

I guess his own advice from 1987 doesn't apply anymore

I remember around the time Expendables 3 came out, Stallone made comments about how Willis was demanding way too much money. Perhaps part of the problem is that he simply priced himself out of the market and now can only get these low budget efforts.

That is exactly why he wasn't in Expendables 3: replaced by Harrison Ford.

According to the IMDB, he's got 12 films either completed or in post production! Wow.

Maybe if they order a dozen, they get one free?

^Maybe he's trying to be like Klaus Kinski in terms of volume....^
