Is Bruce Willis a has-been or are you still enjoying his latest movies?

I think he's better if he takes movies more geared towards what he is capable of doing and not what the stuntman can do for him. :) Like Clint Eastwood realized he couldn't do a lot of his old stuff and just took roles that worked for his physical capabilities and age. Maybe Bruce is in denial. He's not terrible, just not at his best.

@MrPerditus1. Have you seen Trauma Center? He's so bad in it.

@Tomorrow Haven't seen that one yet, but now will have to just to see what you're talking about. :D

@MrPerditus1 Lol. I wasn't sure if I should tell you to watch it and go through that torture to prove my point or just not say anything and let you continue to be happy with him. 😜

@Tomorrow Nah, I'm a sucker for bad movies, even the REALLY bad ones. I just have heard and seen that he's been, what they call, phoning in his performances. I think he might be burnt out and is taking anything just to get paid and doesn't care. Not like he was a Shakespearean actor in the first place.

Still, I'll suffer through it and see what I get. lol I was never a huge fan of his, but never hated his work either. Liked some, didn't others. But thanks for the warning. Glutton for punishment here. 😝

@Tomorrow 🤣 I'll...ummm...try? But thanks, going to start it up now and get it out of the way. Oh and no, I won't blame you if I'm traumatized any by it. You DID warn me.

@MrPerditus1 Ha. Ha. Well when it's over, let us know you made it though unscathed!

@Tomorrow Unscathed? After THAT monstrosity? I think I need to find some bleach to burn those images from my eyes. UGH!! Okay, that aside, my god that was terrible, almost put me to sleep from the lack of emotional range throughout. I swear it seemed like everyone in that movie was on ludes or downers. Sleep walking through every scene. Even the "exciting" parts were like watching molasses moving uphill.

It was...something I'm glad I got out of the way and yeah, have to agree with you, he just isn't giving it much of anything nowadays. It wasn't the WORST movie I've ever seen, but not even close to anything of his that's considered good. I liked the first Die Hard, Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys, Sixth Sense, Red, Reds and even Armageddon, but this was just blagh.

@MrPerditus1 I know, right? He wasn't even speaking well or even trying. Your right - seemed like everyone was on downers of some kind. I hate to say I told you so but.... 😉 Lol.
