Why does Willis do these *beep* movies?
Hes got enough money surely? Why can't he be more choosy?
shareIt's doubtful he chooses movies in the hopes they'll be bad. This one was actually pretty good, especially by strait to video standards.

Who knows? Willis is in a ton of movies - probably the busiest major actor in the business. The only one who knows for sure is Willis.
shareWillis is a business man and he knows Hollywood is creatively dead. The guy is just making his money and probably doesn't give a damn what movie he takes.
shareNot to mention he's getting on in years. Older actors generally take what they can get.
His name still draws though. He's pretty well the only reason I watched this stinker.
I heard,he got most of the money on this film for only a couple of days.

I actually wanted to come to this board and ask that same question.
I mean, let's compare it to a musician, he might be great but if he can't get enough people to listen, he'll accept any gig he can get. Why? Because he wants to be a professional musician.
What does Willis want? To be richer?
He's in one of my top 3 favorite movies; "12 Monkeys" and he's damn fine in that and he should be proud of it.
But, then he's in the latest Die Hard trash and stuff like this where his acting at the "tell him I'm sorry" scene on the phone is cringeworthy and could easily be topped on Youtube by nobodies. He has been in so much crap lately that it's unbelievable and he's done nothing to make those movies more enjoyable.
So my theory is that maybe he did care at some point but now he just wants to be richer.
When a musician sells out enough times, people stop buying his songs. It takes time though, Willis might have stopped acting before he notices. Maybe that's his whole idea. Maybe "12 Monkeys" was a fluke.

This is IMO one of his best straight to dvd b action flicks... But no thanks to him, he clearly only did it for the money as pretty much anything he's done in most of this century with no concern to even bother trying to act but luckily his role wasn't that big in this one
