So we watched this horrific piece of shit tonight. . . and yes, I admit I DVRed it earlier today because I saw it was starring Bruce Willis and was made in 2021 (so was curious to see the performance based on the announcement of his medical diagnosis the other day). to be up front, yes. .it's *very* clear something is going on, and it absolutely looks like he was fed lines one at a time (and seemed to flub when delivering several of them, so have to assume the best takes were used). . but he also looks kind of lost and confused in several scenes where he's in the background. HOWEVER. . he is (by a very wide margin) *not* the worst thing in this film. to Nick's annoyance, I kept pointing out massive plot holes, and idiotic moves by characters thruout the film. . .and noting editing mistakes that are all over the film. And that ending. . oh my, the ending that we're STILL discussing, as to how it would NEVER, EVER happen (lots of dead folks + unreliable witness does not that ending make. . ever). it's a great "bad movie night" film. . . .how to best describe it. ok. . here's a close approximation: Imagine DieHard, as done by "the Asylum" - but instead of a skyscraper, it's a Hydro Electric Plant. and it's got really, really bad CGI blood (a "the Asylum" staple). . oh, and Bruce Willis is the "bad guy" with an idiotic motivation.

Sadly , that’s the scuttle butt I heard, that he was making many crappy films to cash in while he could.

The latest news on Willis' apparent aphasia are heart breaking. It's not as if he needed the money, so I suppose that before his recent retirement he was trying to amass as much money for his daughters as possible, even if he clearly couldn't do the job anymore.
I read this morning that Woody Allen let him go from a movie a few years ago, not over "creative disagreements", but because Bruce couldn't learn his lines anymore. Life can be such a #@$% sometimes.
