One of the biggest stars in the world during the 1990's and the early part of the 21st Century, Bruce Willis has appeared in a huge number of movies that range from the entertaining to the all-time classic; Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout, Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, The Fifth Element, Armageddon and The Sixth Sense are just some of the titles that helped the actor establish a reputation as one of the biggest and most bankable names in the business. However, in recent years trying to name a handful of decent Bruce Willis performances off the top of your head is becoming increasingly difficult. It should be noted that the actor had an excellent 2012 and gave two of his best performances in a long time in Looper and Moonrise Kingdom, but the vast majority of his recent filmography seems to have been motivated by the lure of a solid paycheck more than anything else. Despite stating in a 2013 interview that he was "bored" of starring in action movies, the actor has since appeared in sequels to Die Hard, G.I. Joe and Red for which he was no doubt handsomely rewarded, and actually was replaced in The Expendables 3 after demanding $4m to spend a whopping three days on set. Outside of his blockbuster franchises, Willis is now in the midst of a Nicolas Cage-like descent into mediocrity. You can understand why Sylvester Stallone dubbed him "greedy and lazy"; in the last few years the actor has given a number of phoned-in performances in awful straight-to-video action movies (surprise surprise) like Setup, Catch .44, The Cold Light Of Day and Fire With Fire, and still keeps talking about a completely unnecessary sixth Die Hard movie.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
