What's the most recent movie that you can think of where it felt like Bruce Willis was there to act, not for the paycheck. (Or at least not JUST for the paycheck.)

There was a few seconds in Looper where I felt that he cared.
shareHe was solid in his brief appearance in Motherless Brooklyn. He's only in the film for ten minutes but it was nice seeing him in a real movie with ambition again.
shareI think it would be in this post-movie interview for Red 2:

He actually tried and succeeded in making himself an asshole. It's more than he's tried in the majority of his films in the last decade.
I honestly thought he did great in Glass. I was concerned that he and Samuel L Jackson would phone in their performances...but they both stayed true to their original characters from Unbreakable.
shareumm - his acting skills are on par with Keanu Reeves (that it to say - very little in terms of acting ability) - but I must admit, all of the work he did in the last 10 years looks like it was made via only one take, with him reading the lines, rather than having memorized them.
shareI'd say he tried his current best on Glass.
shareAnother vote for Motherless it was a great performance, it would have been a better film if it had more Bruce.
