These days Bruce only tends to do well when he's working with his friends and people his own age, like in Reds. Everything else he's been pretty much just calling it in.
I had similar thought/questions regarding Bruce Willis and the onslaught of C/D-list movies recently released "starring" him. Apparently he's suffering from an Aphasia diagnosis, which can be incredibly debilitating, and obviously affecting his acting. From what I've read he's retiring, but also has a large family to support, so before he bows out for good he's cranking out as much work as possible, in films with scripts that he's still able to execute (albeit not nearly to the caliber of the Bruce Willis of ol' ). Do most of these films suck for the most part, absolutely. Would I do the same thing if I were in his shoes (do whatever I could to provide for my family/legacy in the time I had)? - Absolutely. I don't think this is something that most people know about; I just happened to stumble across an article (tried to link out but TVDB bot thinks it's spam). I say good luck and God bless to him.
I just watched Gasoline Alley (2022) and they visit the "American Siege" movie shoot a couple of times during this.
I guess I'd make them too; I'm not making any money at all right now. :)
All those Razzie nominations and his Razzie award were rescinded, within a day or two of the announcement about Bruce Willis' medical problems.
On the same day, they even rescinded a Razzie from years ago, for someone else who was found to have extenuating circumstances that affected their performance.
Wow, this is one of the worst movies I've seen in quite a while.
I'm shocked to see someone like Bruce Willis in trash like this...
He's got dementia and is disconnected from what he was doing in these late films. He was being taken advantage of over the last few years. He has since retired because of it.

There's been some chatter that Bruce might be in the early stages of dementia and is doing these low-rent movies purely for the money
