Re: The One and Only Bruce Willis Thread
I never saw the original show, but for a long time I was always amused by some of the clips on YT from Comedy Central's roast of Willis in 2018. Less so these days, of course, but it's interesting to watch Ed Norton's bit now and not wonder if he was unwittingly calling out some of Willis's issues before they were public.

Wow! Who knew Ed Norton was that funny? And when he gets serious at the end, it's moving and touching. Since I haven't watched an Ed Norton movie in, like, 20 years, and I've never seen a Wes Anderson movie, I wouldn't know if Norton's ever done anything that actually utilized his comic talents. Has he?

When an assassination attempt is witnessed by two cops, Gabriel Tancredi, an ex-marine turned mob enforcer (Michael Rooker), is ordered by his ruthless mob boss (Bruce Willis) to eliminate any and all threats. With an eager underling out to prove himself, rival gangs making moves, and a rising body count, every step Tancredi makes threatens lives...including his own.

That’s a decent cast too! Even though they’re all pretty much passed their prime and have their careers squarely in Direct-to-Video territory. It’s still nice to see actors other than Chad Michael Murray and Patrick Muldoon.

Re: The One and Only Bruce Willis Thread
Shitty poster, but I'm more intrigued by this more than many of the other recent Willis films because of the director, who's done some above average DTV stuff in recent years, including TRIPLE THREAT, ACCIDENT MAN, AVENGEMENT (and even some films without Scott Adkins). I find the action design in several of his films to be comparable to bigger-budgeted films, probably owing to his extensive history of stunts and stunt coordination in studio pictures.

He's been slumming it of late in recent years. I guess the Hollywood jobs are drying up for him and he's headed down the path of Cage and Willis in forgettable DTV movies.
Malkovich said he took this role in DTV Shattered because he knew the producers and was seemingly able to cast the hot young female lead.

I wouldn't put Nic Cage in with most of the other geasers. While most of his movies aren't great and some are forgettable, he doesn't phone it in, most of the time he's the lead and some of his movies are real gems.

Re: The One and Only Bruce Willis Thread
I rented Vendetta from Red Box and just finished it.
It's basically a Death Wish rip-off. Kind of ironic considering Willis starred in a Death Wish re-boot. Anyways, Willis isn't even the star or the hero. He has a really small part as one of the bad guys.
Clive Standan, from Vikings and Taken, is the lead and serves as the protagonist. The movie is very low budget. It looks like it was filmed in like 3 locations in Georgia and probably was shot in like a month.
Mike Tyson
and Thomas Jane have small parts. The acting is terrible overall.

My goodness, how many more of these Bruce Willis movies are in the pipeline? I did watch one or two that names can't be recalled, but they were forgettable.

A lot of these Willis movies seem to film in small cities in the U.S. They must be getting great tax breaks.
