13 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018

6. Bruce Willis (Death Wish)

2018 sure has been a depressing year for Bruce Willis fans. In addition to fully embracing the straight-to-VOD action thriller dungeon for some easy paychecks, Willis appeared in just a single theatrical release, and it sure wasn't good.

Eli Roth's pointless remake of the cult classic revenge thriller Death Wish sees a scarcely-awake Willis lumbering his way through a charmless rehash nobody asked for.

Every single line delivery from Willis feels phoned-in, and half the time he can't even muster a simple, emotive facial expression. He looks literally pained to be there, as though he spent the entire shoot suffering through a migraine and just had to make the best of it.

We can only hope next month's Glass might give Willis his first good theatrical release since 2012's Looper, because watching him in Death Wish was a legitimately sad and depressing experience.
