I wouldn’t go so far as to call Deadlock good but it is one of the least terrible movies I’ve seen for this project and features Willis’ best and most committed performance. Patrick Muldoon, who you might know from such films as My Adventures with Santa, Magic in Mount Holly, Bernie the Dolphin, Bernie the Dolphin 2, Saving Christmas, A Boyfriend for Christmas, A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, Robo-Dog, The Dog Who Saved Summer, Miracle Dogs Too and of course The Dog That Saved Easter gets his turn at Bruce Willis Action Hero Fantasy Camp and the results are a pleasant surprise for reasons that have nothing to do with Muldoon. And Willis’ late-period output technically qualify as motion pictures but it’d be overly generous to call them real films rather than disposable product. Then again it would be more accurate to say that Willis’ costars in these movies are “action heroes” rather than the real deal, in that they’re “action heroes” in the same way the wrestler who stars in The Marine 13: Bloodshed in Cities With Generous Tax Incentives for Film Productions is an action hero. There would have been an additional meta-textual element to Willis in the role since, as I’ve commented earlier in the series, Willis’ 2021 output feels unmistakably like the result of a Bruce Willis Action Fantasy Camp that affords various C-listers and never-weres the opportunity to be a genuine action hero in a real Bruce Willis movie. The comedy’s title certainly would have made more sense with Willis in the Ron Wilcox role and I’m sure Willis would have given his best, funniest and loosest performance in ages, as Willis’ Look Who’s Talking and Pulp Fiction costar Travolta did in the juicy role of a half-mad guru of all things action. The premise of Die Hart is that an insecure Kevin Hart, playing a fictionalized version of himself, signs up for a secret action hero acting school run by charismatic lunatic Ron Wilcox (John Travolta). That was a wise decision in that Quibi was a disaster of historic proportions and a mistake in that Die Hart turned out to be a wry, post-modern delight that scored a much deserved Emmy nomination for the actor that took the role instead-John Travolta-as well as his costars Kevin Hart and Nathalie Emmanuel, and was picked up for a second season. ![]() Yet he notoriously wanted four million dollars for four days work to appear in The Expendables 3, so he was replaced by Harrison Ford, who has a reputation as one of the all-time grumps but apparently is a pussycat to work with compared to Willis. A bargain as well!Īnd Willis apparently turned down Die Hart because he he didn’t understand Quibi and thought it sounded stupid. Considering the choices that Willis has made over the past decade, it can be hard to believe that Willis has said no to anything, no matter how grubby or distasteful.
