Willis developed a negative reputation late in life for effectively selling out and entering the Chuck Norris\/Nicolas Cage stage of his career.<\/p>\n<p>He made cheap, Redbox-style action films that were sold on his name and brand appeal.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to look at the list of his final decade of filmmaking and conclude Willis was phoning it in. And there\u2019s a good case to be made for that. He did an interview many years back promoting &#8220;Red 2&#8221; where he was asked his opinions on <a href=\"https:\/\/ghiblicollection.com\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Studio Ghibli movies.<\/a> He shrugged, saying he doesn\u2019t care about movies anymore and just likes to watch football.<\/p>\n<h2>Bruce Willis&#8217;s Career: It&#8217;s Very Complicated<\/h2>\n<p>The man had grown apathetic, both in his career and in life in general. This was reflected in the fact that the Golden Raspberry Awards began giving out a \u201cWorst Bruce Willis Performance\u201d award \u2014 at least until his aphasia diagnosis. The award group rescinded the practice with an apology to Willis.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Willis is still one of the biggest stars of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>He was a great actor going back to his &#8220;Moonlighting&#8221; days and has given dozens of masterful performances. You don\u2019t end up making films like &#8220;Die Hard,&#8221; &#8220;Pulp Fiction,&#8221; &#8220;The Last Boy Scout,&#8221; &#8220;The Whole Nine Yards,&#8221; &#8220;12 Monkeys,&#8221; &#8220;The Fifth Element,&#8221; &#8220;The Sixth Sense,&#8221; &#8220;Unbreakable&#8221; and &#8220;Sin City&#8221; unless you have movie-star talent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F3-ZP95NF_Wk%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It could be all too easy to dismiss the last decade of his career by saying he didn\u2019t accomplish anything after 2010&#8217;s &#8220;Cop Out,&#8221; but that isn\u2019t true. He had a few diamonds in the rough.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to say that the last few movies he released were all masterpieces. Many of them were quite bad, but some are worthy of a cursory re-examination in light of Willis\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of this retrospective, I am going to focus on his last 12 theatrical releases from 2012 to 2022, which mark the final decade of his career. I will only be indulging a little of his straight-to-Redbox library.<\/p>\n<p>The RedLetterMedia team already tried and unanimously declared the majority of the 36 direct-to-video films in the past decade unwatchable. I defer to their judgment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fcd1eNS9HtXo%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Moonrise Kingdom&#8217; (2012)<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m starting with the most anachronistically excellent film on the list first. There is a reason I wanted to do this list with the odd number of 13 total movies\u2014because &#8220;Moonrise Kingdom&#8221; is one of the best films Bruce Willis has ever been in and is a perfect place to start. Rewatching it, it immediately stood out as both a great film and a stellar Willis performance, coming off the tail end of his dramatic career.<\/p>\n<p>Willis is part of a massive ensemble, working alongside Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman and Edward Norton. As with any Wes Anderson movie, the quirkiness and twee is immeasurable.<\/p>\n<p>Willis plays a police captain responsible for overseeing an island off the coast of New England. His story arc mirrors that of the movie\u2019s Romeo and Juliet-esque romance between two 12-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>While Willis\u2019s Captain Sharp is attempting to find the lost school children, he is also having an illicit sexual affair, showing a level of identification between himself and the young boy whose anti-societal exploits he\u2019s trying to reign in.<\/p>\n<p>This ultimately plays into his decision to become the boy\u2019s adoptive father figure by the story\u2019s resolution. He wants to protect him from forces that could be far more harmful than himself\u2014namely, Child Protective Services. The body wants to force him into electroshock therapy for being a disruptive child.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FHhP2rEHWxCI%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Willis blends well with Anderson\u2019s traditional dollhouse aesthetic. Sadly, he is somewhat upstaged by Murray, who is more deeply ingratiated in the director&#8217;s style and more convincingly plays with the artifice.<\/p>\n<p>However, the talent of an Anderson performance comes from an actor&#8217;s ability to speak through the purposely stilted and rigid proceedings and speak emotionally through the scenes, and Willis does well in this.<\/p>\n<p>Willis\u2019s performance in &#8220;Moonrise Kingdom&#8221; reveals several truths.<\/p>\n<p>His acting skills were still fully intact going into this final decade. He largely wasn\u2019t going to be the leading man in dramatic works going forward. His image as an authority figure in action films is easy to manipulate.<\/p>\n<p>His charisma and screen presence, even in roles he isn\u2019t deeply connected to, lend him that movie-star quality that makes him appealing in action movies.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Expendables 2&#8217; (2012)<\/h2>\n<p>Willis&#8217; status as a recognizable action star makes it common for him to show up in glorified cameos, as he does in &#8220;The LEGO Movie 2&#8221; (2019) playing a homeless version of John McClane who enjoys living in air ducts.<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;Expendables 2,&#8221; he\u2019s one small part of a large ensemble, another cog in the massive cameo machine that typifies the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>As far as late 2000s action schlock goes, you can do worse than these movies\u2014although there is a reason they\u2019re mostly forgotten. The second film is effectively a no-stakes, nearly plotless story of Sylvester Stallone mumbling his way through a tour of Eastern Europe while spouting references to other action movies.<\/p>\n<p>These movies were pretty much the action-movie equivalent of welfare checks, with Stallone saying he goes out of his way to hire older stars struggling to find work, like Dolph Lundgren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson and Chuck Norris.<\/p>\n<p>Willis gets a larger role here than some of his fellow actors, but that only amounts to four or five scenes. He plays the enigmatic CIA agent Mr. Church who instigates the plot, yells at people over the phone and jumps into the finale to pose and shoot guns while looking cool.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure he\u2019s ever even in danger by the film\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Looper&#8217; (2012)<\/h2>\n<p>Filmmakers still recognized Willis&#8217; remarkable talent in his final decade of acting, and they sought him out for serious roles. Rian Johnson (&#8220;Knives Out&#8221;) directed him in one of his smartest science fiction roles to date during this period.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson uses him as both a lead character and a villain in the film. He&#8217;s the future version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt&#8217;s protagonist Joe\u2014a scummy, self-centered hitman who assassinates wanted criminals who are sent back into the past of the 2040s, where it is less difficult to hide murders from forensic advancements.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Gordon-Levitt and Willis are attempting to mirror each other is the film\u2019s central gimmick. The younger figure tries to find a way to kill his older doppelganger before the mob brutally kills him for making the mistake of allowing him to escape.<\/p>\n<p>Willis\u2019s performance as Old Joe gives a more hardened edge to the character we meet as a young man. It shows that decades of crime, drugs and life have a cost. Willis is still very good at finding the humanity in his performance.<\/p>\n<p>In one scene, he murders a child that he believes will screw him over in the future, and the act is so disturbing he has an emotional breakdown. Not only did he murder the wrong person, it was a child, no less.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson uses Willis smartly in this manner, showing an awareness of his cultural perception as an action hero while quietly subverting his strength and mannerisms for a story about the nature of taking responsibility for one\u2019s actions\u2014and the cost of not doing so.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;A Good Day To Die Hard&#8217; (2013)<\/h2>\n<p>Sadly, there&#8217;s no film that better reflects the poor reputation Willis built in this last acting decade than this.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth &#8220;Die Hard&#8221; film feels both cheap and expensive, emblematic of the shallow ways that Hollywood will rush out poor sequels for the sake of continuing a franchise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A Good Day To Die Hard&#8221; isn\u2019t a terrible movie in hindsight, but it&#8217;s painfully conventional and a poor continuation of the great work Willis did in the first three installments.<\/p>\n<p>Those films are beloved because John McClane is the ultimate Everyman hero. He\u2019s a normal guy getting dragged through an over-the-top 1980s action movie, barely surviving in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth film doesn\u2019t understand this and comes off as a shallow action movie with invincible characters, massive set pieces and a poor grasp of why these movies were appealing in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Willis glides along through the film with a blank facial expression, empty smiles, weak jokes and constant snarks that he\u2019s \u201con vacation.\u201d Meanwhile, he gets into deadly shootouts that would\u2019ve killed a younger John McClane.<\/p>\n<p>He clearly didn\u2019t like making the movie and few enjoyed it after it was released.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there is still an ounce of the classic Willis underneath these issues. This was still a monstrously successful film, having grossed $304 million at the box office. The underlying snark and charisma are still there, even if Willis doesn\u2019t feel passionate about it.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;G.I. Joe: Retaliation&#8217; (2013)<\/h2>\n<p>I have no real opinions on the &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221; films other than astonishment that there have been five serious Hollywood attempts\u2014including the &#8220;Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts&#8221; post-credits stinger\u2014to turn the popular 1980s cartoon into a blockbuster franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Much like &#8220;Expendables 2,&#8221; there is not much to be said about the film as a performance vehicle. Despite being on the cover of the movie\u2019s poster, Willis\u2019s role here is minimal. He shows up late in the story, disappears for half an hour and sticks around for the finale.<\/p>\n<p>He plays a retired military general who is called back into action following the infiltration of the U.S. government by the Cobra organization.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FFwszo2EvSVs%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This version of Willis, though, is fun! He gets a few good scenes and firefights out of this role, particularly his introductory scene where co-star Dwayne Johnson first confronts him in his house and is caught by the stealthy general at the business end of a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t much character work to explore. This is mostly a physical role serving a \u201ccoming out of retirement one more time\u201d story.<\/p>\n<p>It helps that Willis\u2019s strength as an actor is his ability to embody working-class masculinity. He has the build and moral conviction of a blue-collar man, rather than Johnson&#8217;s absurdly muscular frame. That helped him convincingly slip into action roles even if he wasn&#8217;t given a complex character.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Red 2&#8217; (2013)<\/h2>\n<p>The mid-2010s were a period of heavy sequel-making for Willis, with many of his younger roles being explored through the lens of time. No franchise is more emblematic of this than the &#8220;Red&#8221; films; made as parodies of the persona he built as an action star.<\/p>\n<p>The gimmick of aging action heroes being dragged out of retirement was certainly enjoyable in the 2010 film, and the immediate sequel mostly captures that energy.<\/p>\n<p>The plot is not much to write home about, with a deadly superweapon about to be unleashed on the world and Willis\u2019s Frank Moses character on the run from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Hopkins shows up as a mad scientist and most of the actors are having fun. There\u2019s also a giddy subplot about Frank&#8217;s relationship with Mary-Louise Parker\u2019s character, and Willis gets to enjoy smirking and making jokes about how old he is.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all infectious, even if the first film did this much more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>As far as franchise work goes, the &#8220;Red&#8221; films are easily the most enjoyable action films from Willis to come out of this decade\u2014if only because they aren\u2019t pretending like Willis is the same spry young man he used to be.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Willis\u2019s working-class masculinity works here in ways that Harrison Ford\u2019s reprising roles as an 80-year-old man do not.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Sin City: A Dame To Kill For&#8217; (2014)<\/h2>\n<p>Considering Willis\u2019s character Detective John Hardigan plays such an important role in the first &#8220;Sin City&#8221; movie, it&#8217;s not surprising to see him nine years later for the sequel. Except that his character committed suicide at the end of the last Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller\u2019s hyper-stylized comic noir film.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/lesser-known-bruce-willis-films\/\"><strong>RELATED: THESE BURIED BRUCE WILLIS FILMS MUST BE UNEARTHED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He mostly shows up as a ghost, appearing to his former lover as she grapples with self-loathing while working as a stripper. It is a cheesy performance in an otherwise cheesy movie, but his grizzled attitude melds well into what the movie is going for, even if he doesn\u2019t get much to do.<\/p>\n<p>Like the other actors in the film, his performance allows him to growl like he has a mouth filled with marbles and monologues about hell, death and the unending pit of depravity that is Sin City.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Rock The Kasbah&#8217; (2015)<\/h2>\n<p>This is easily the weirdest of the late-period Bruce Willis performances, and once again it\u2019s a pairing with Bill Murray.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t pretend to understand Murray\u2019s late-career impulses or how he chooses his projects\u2014which span the chasm from Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola movies to &#8220;Ant-Man 3&#8221; and the live-action &#8220;Garfield&#8221; movies. He just does whatever he wants, and people like him for it.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that he\u2019d accept work on a Barry Levinson (&#8220;Good Morning, Vietnam,&#8221; &#8220;Wag the Dog&#8221;) dark comedy isn\u2019t surprising.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fjtvcb5N_kek%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, &#8220;Rock The Kasbah&#8221; is still boring despite everyone\u2019s best chaotic efforts. The box office dud adapted a documentary about a real-life Afghani music competition into a mostly dull comedy about a has-been music producer wandering around war-torn Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>It marks one of the least hard-hitting looks at Middle Eastern life since 1987\u2019s &#8220;Ishtar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Willis has a sizable supporting role, playing an American security guard who tails Murray around and pushes back against his abusive antics, all while trying to keep him safe on his music tour as he attempts to negotiate with Afghani tribal leaders. The role loosely riffs off Willis\u2019s action-hero image as shorthand, but this isn\u2019t for the sake of a joke.<\/p>\n<p>Willis\u2019s character isn\u2019t funny. He\u2019s the straight man in a bizarre &#8220;Odd Couple&#8221; scenario, cleaning up Murray\u2019s impulsive decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he does this well. His bizarre energy keeps the film somewhat grounded and adds needed tension and gravity to a story that is in desperate need of them.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Once Upon A Time In Venice&#8217; (2017)<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the only films on this list that I am thoroughly confused by. Its great title and John Wick-esque premise made it sound unique, but the execution is bizarre. It&#8217;s a dull, dark comedy filled with wacky high jinks and an aimless plot that fails at every task it sets forth for itself.<\/p>\n<p>Willis runs a private detective firm in Venice Beach and the film introduces it in the style of a hard-boiled thriller. Unfortunately, this quirky tone is pushed too far immediately, when Willis is chased naked down the street on a skateboard.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the film is going for never gels. Jason Momoa steals his dog but offers to let him buy it back, so Willis runs around the city borrowing money and breaking things, meeting quirky characters, getting kidnapped by transgender hookers and having sex with random women.<\/p>\n<p>So much is happening and the characterization jumps between depicting its lead as a melancholy detective, a wacky man-child and a lecherous, absent father figure.<\/p>\n<p>The entire film feels like a mid-life crisis in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Willis can\u2019t make the script\u2019s inconsistent characterization come together, and who could blame him? What might have been an interesting fusion of &#8220;John Wick&#8221; and &#8220;Under The Silver Lake&#8221; instead amounts to an over-produced noir comedy, with neither noir nor comedy.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it is almost worth recommending the film for Willis\u2019s gonzo performance, given how much he\u2019s forced to commit to uncomfortable creative decisions.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Death Wish&#8217; (2018)<\/h2>\n<p>I adore the original &#8220;Death Wish&#8221; movies, even if I recognize they\u2019re morally questionable vigilante thrillers with some of the most grotesque rape scenes ever filmed. That said, the first movie is a classic and the three immediate sequels are great Cannon Films fodder, even if star Charles Bronson couldn\u2019t have cared less about his performance.<\/p>\n<p>It is a curious match made in heaven then that Willis was cast in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/death-wish-2018-review\/\"> Eli Roth\u2019s remake of the series<\/a>\u2014set in Chicago no less for maximum topicality. It\u2019s a controversial franchise with a controversial lead, and the movie only succeeds in making a movie that\u2019s as dumb and schlocky as the Cannon movie.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it\u2019s a perfect &#8220;Death Wish&#8221; movie. Willis only needed to play the hits and act irresponsibly, and he does so gloriously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/dirty-harry-black-lives-matter\/\"><strong>RELATED: WE NEED &#8216;DIRTY HARRY&#8217; NOW MORE THAN EVER&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In what largely turns out to be his last major blockbuster action role, Willis turns up to play. He still looked checked out and exhausted, but so did Bronson. He\u2019s only here to put the fear of God into Chicago\u2019s criminal underclass, and he gets a few chances to do that well.<\/p>\n<p>He slips comfortably into the role, and even adds some new wrinkles to the scenario by morphing the franchise\u2019s lead character from an architect to a doctor. That plays into some of the film\u2019s brutal torture scenes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Death Wish&#8221; certainly doesn\u2019t make Willis look great, but the pairing is a fascinating example of how directors could still use him effectively in the right context.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Glass&#8217; (2019)<\/h2>\n<p>As much as I want to praise Willis\u2019s late-career arc, it needs to be reinforced that what bothers so many people about Willis is that he seems to no longer care about his craft. While plenty of directors can take advantage of his charisma and energy, Willis was still checked out for the majority of this decade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Glass&#8221; is a particularly egregious example. It&#8217;s a direct sequel to one of Willis\u2019s best performances in &#8220;Unbreakable.&#8221; He played a middle-aged father who suspects he might have superpowers after miraculously surviving a train crash.<\/p>\n<p>The sequel is a lazy, bloated and egotistical experience. Willis\u2019 screen time is limited to 30-odd minutes, which gives him little opportunity to elevate the film and explore his character.<\/p>\n<p>As film writer Dan Olsen points out, he likely only gave Blumhouse a few days to work with him\u2014as it was reportedly common in his riders that he only works a short time on set before letting a stunt double takeover.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of the directors Willis worked with in the past decade were able to push past this limitation, but late-period Shyamalan is uniquely ill-suited to the task. Willis still brings some sadness to the role, particularly regarding the fate of his beloved character, but &#8220;Glass&#8221; lacks the great script and screen time to draw on his humanity in the way that made &#8220;Unbreakable&#8221; a masterpiece.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Motherless Brooklyn&#8217; (2019)<\/h2>\n<p>As time went on, Willis\u2019s roles grew smaller and less frequent. This could be a logical consequence of the actor demanding larger paydays for his work, or simply a reality that he didn\u2019t want to accept larger roles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In any case, his role in &#8220;Motherless Brooklyn&#8221; is notable for this reason. Edward Norton\u2019s long-time Neo-Noir dream project was a film nearly 20 years in the making. The film earned decent reviews but an unreceptive box office.<\/p>\n<p>It also marks the last time Willis would act in a major, theatrically released film.<\/p>\n<p>The film only has about 10 minutes of its two-and-a-half-hour runtime dedicated to Willis\u2019s character, but he played an outsized role as the plot instigator and mentor figure of the main cast.<\/p>\n<p>The film introduces him as the leader of a Brooklyn-based private detective agency investigating an unknown party when a bad deal results in his murder. Norton is his brilliant assistant who suffers from Tourette\u2019s Syndrome. The character takes on the task of investigating the murder and subsequent criminal conspiracy that he discovers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/hudson-hawk-bruce-willis-second-look\/\"><strong>RELATED: WHY &#8216;HUDSON HAWK&#8217; IS THE BRUCE WILLIEST BRUCE WILLIS FILM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Willis doesn\u2019t get much of a chance to shine in his final theatrical role, but I can\u2019t imagine anyone in the production assumed this would be such a key role. He does a solid job playing an emotionally distant mentor, in a clear case of Norton knowing how to use Willis\u2019s persona as an actor appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>He only gets one short dream sequence later in the film but overall the movie is the best film he acted in towards the end of the decade. He seems to have cared about showing up and helping his colleague make his dream project.<\/p>\n<p>Unintentionally, it ends up being something of a sweet role for Willis\u2014a swansong to Willis\u2019s career that is itself about the challenge of giving a flawed man justice.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Assassin&#8217; (2023)<\/h2>\n<p>It is worth noting again that Willis\u2019s career mostly shifted away from dramatic acting in the 2010s and early 2020s. Willis spent the majority of his energy acting in 36 straight-to-DVD action movies. Most of them have been forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Assassin&#8221; is only notable among them for its status as the final canonical appearance of Willis on film. Appropriately, he is only a minor character, playing a villainous government agent who is murdered halfway into the story.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s plot resembles Brandon Cronenberg\u2019s &#8220;Possessor,&#8221; being about a secret technology that allows agents to possess another person and use their body to commit assassinations. The similarities mostly stop at the premise. &#8220;Assassin&#8221; amounts to little more than a tirade against the military-industrial complex, that would\u2019ve felt outdated a decade before it leaked onto Redbox.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, &#8220;Assassin&#8221; marks the last time Willis will likely ever appear on screen. His villainous character is menacing, a quietly detached government agent who knows how to spend human lives to get the results he needs. His abrupt death mostly relegates his character to being more of a symbol, with his screen presence towering over the less famous co-stars.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>I initially felt disappointed after watching these films.<\/p>\n<p>One always goes into a study like this hoping to find a lost thread or the missing needle in the haystack\u2014something that can explain the secrets of a person\u2019s soul like Rosebud in &#8220;Citizen Kane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was sad looking over this filmography, realizing how talented Willis is, seeing how many diamonds in the rough could still come out of this sausage factory and wondering why he didn\u2019t do more.<\/p>\n<p>However, the research has certainly given me more appreciation for Willis as an actor and a person. There is still a lot going on in these roles; an active dialog with his legacy and reputation as an action star and several excellent character studies.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, there has been a great deal of reflection on the actor and his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Producer Jerry Bruckheimer spoke this past week of <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/04\/bruce-willis-fondly-recalled-by-jerry-bruckheimer-for-armageddon-1235894480\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Willis\u2019s kindness and generosity on the set<\/a> of &#8220;Armageddon,&#8221; noting his willingness to support the film\u2019s crew. <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/the-shortest-sentence-in-the-bible-is-jesus-wept-bruce-willis-surprise-reaction-to-quentin-tarantinos-pulp-fiction-ultimatum-is-a-story-for-the-age\/#google_vignette\"  rel=\"noopener\">Tarantino similarly praised Willis\u2019s enthusiasm<\/a>&nbsp;on the set of &#8220;Pulp Fiction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shyamalan recently told of how<a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/it-was-tough-to-get-on-his-good-side-m-night-shyamalan-revealed-bruce-willis-real-face-at-the-peak-of-his-career-that-he-will-never-forget\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"> Willis\u2019s passion for filming &#8220;The Sixth Sense&#8221;<\/a> has been a tremendous inspiration for his career.

Thousands of messages of support and love followed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to be cynical about Willis, dismissing his later work as cheap cash grabs. However, the knowledge of his advanced frontotemporal dementia casts his final performances in a new light. He was suffering memory issues for much of the last decade and still gave strong performances in most of these films.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, Willis seems to have been\u2014and continues to be\u2014a wonderful human being when it counts.<\/p>\n<p>Willis made the same career calculation Nicolas Cage did in the early 2010s. He made a high volume of low-budget films for the money. I certainly don\u2019t blame the man for forgoing the art at times in favor of a consistent paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>Who among us can cast the first stone for doing so?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Willis will never get a second chance at a late-career revival as la Cage with films like &#8220;Mandy&#8221; and &#8220;Pig,&#8221; setting the record straight that he is the same great actor he always has been.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he did some solid work in the past decade. He remains one of the greatest actors of his generation\u2014even if you have to read between the lines to appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>For whatever time he has left, I hope audiences have the opportunity to go back and celebrate him as a wonderful artist and he continues to be surrounded by love and appreciation for his best efforts.<\/p>\n<p>He deserves that much for the good work he has done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyler Hummel is a Nashville-based freelance critic and journalist, a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MCFCA615\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Music City Film Critics Association<\/a> and the 2021 College Fix Fellow at Main Street Nashville.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/bruce-willis-acting-career\/\">Reflections on Bruce Willis&#8217; Final Decade of Acting<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/\">Hollywood in Toto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years ago, the world was shocked by the sudden and unexpected retirement of action star Bruce Willis.
