Bruce Willis


Recommended Posts

I've never read "Nothing Lasts Forever", but it would have been interesting had they gone that route with an older actor. Maybe they would have gone with Chuck Norris or Charles Bronson.

Bruce in 2013 is at a more realistic age where they would have kept the original story intact, retired cop trying to save his daughter, vs Die Hard where he had a rocky marriage.

That's the sad thing about this franchise. It's one of the few action movies where the character aging could actually really be used to the movie's advantage, in a clever way, because he was never a superhero in the early films and in fact that was what made him so appealing; but this latest one just sucked. Hard. Pun intended. And fwiw I loved the third and fourth films where he became increasingly unrealistic (surfing on waves in the underground system, hanging-ten on the backs of fighter jets -- at least the sequences were still pretty cool).
