Hard Kill

While 2020 might not be the first time Willis has appeared in a crappy, straight to video action movie, I'm still astonished at how, in a short five years, he's gone from A-list action-eer to has-been. Yet, even more insulting is that the bulk of his movies lately are so profoundly generic that they transcend the mediocre, and pass into a realm where the only feeling I can muster through the numbness is hatred. What the fuck happened to John McClane?

Despite seeing many bad films, I was delighted at how hard kill shattered my expectations. Bruce Willis was in the film for approximately 5 minutes before his budget ran out and what "actors" were on screen throughout the film were: A budget solid snake, the tough woman who beats up a man for her introduction, and Paul Sinha from The Chase. There is not much that could be changed to make this movie any worse than it was but I am very glad that it topped the charts for the worst film I had seen.

Bad dialogue, wooden acting, ropey plot and laughable tactics. Simply the worst movie I have seen is ages.

A dreary and cheerless slog finds Willis and co. wondering around an abandoned warehouse (?) exchanging unconvincing gunfire with a guy railing against capitalism. Or something like that. My kingdom for a Chuck Norris (or Charles Bronson) cheapie which knows how to have a marginal good time with this sort of material! Sad to see Willis stripped of any trace of his cheeky John McClane attitude. You could technically do worse, as it's far from the worst of its type, but still pretty depressing.

This is bad, but it's easily the least depressing of Willis' dementia-era flicks I've seen so far.

Bad doesn't even begin to describe this movie. The story is nonsensical, the script is incompetent, and it seems obvious that most of the actors have very little experience or understanding of acting. Worst of all, the action is bland and disappointing. This is a very very bad movie.
