What on Earth is happening to Bruce Willis?

He's now gone from sleep-walking through identikit boring "thrillers" to basically filling in on movie when Nic Cage passes on them.

To be fair, Precious Cargo must have sounded like an absolute cult dream when it was pitched: legendary Die Hard actor Willis teaming up with legendary TV star Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). That alone would surely be worth the cover price, they probably said, casually thumbing through the script without looking at it.

Because there's absolutely no way anyone involved here was aware of what they were getting into before it filmed. It's a tired, numb-headed retread with roughly zero authenticity in script, dialogue or characters, and yet, astonishingly it doesn't manage to qualify for the so-bad it's good club. It's just utterly dismal.
