9. A Good Day To Die Hard
Release Date: 14th February 2013 Unfortunately, Bruce Willis has clearly decidedly recently that he doesn't have enough money, and that the only remedy is to say yes to almost every project that comes his way - no matter how much of a detrimental effect it might have on his career. The fact that he has made films like Fire With Fire alongside Fifty Cent and Vinnie Jones, and even seems content to celebrate his reputation as something of a trashy touch in his association with the Expendables franchise. In truth the former Unbreakable star hasn't made many good films in the last ten years - Moonrise Kingdom aside - and that trend is plainly not going to change if he continues to sign on to projects like this unnecessary Die Hard sequel, uniting John McClane with his son (who hopefully won't take on the lead mantle for future sequels/spin-offs) to tackle some shady foes or other. After the comparative failures of Diehard 4.0 (including the inexplicable title), and its shift in tone that seemed to betray a lot of the core elements of the original trilogy, the need to see a further sequel was drastically reduced. McClane is supposed to be a lone wolf, forced into air-vents and rat-holes by his enemies, and the addition of his son to the cast just feels like too much of a betrayal. He isn't supposed to be the 007 of Plainfield, New Jersey - he isn't supposed to be the 007 of anywhere.
