Hard Kill.....more like a Hard Watch

It's another one of those Bruce Willis stinkers where they tossed a bag with a dollar sign to Bruce Willis, but he said "No, my going rate is two bags" so they gave him two bags with a $ sign in it. What they got for that money, like in previous contemporary Willis stinkers, is Bruce Willis either sitting or standing in place for maybe five minutes total. Very seldomly is he actually shown moving one step, which I assume would've cost another bag. Anyways, the movie is one of the most boring and generic crapfests I've come across. 90+% is shot in some warehouse, which I'm pretty sure I've seen used before in these similar turds. The vast majority is these B and C-list actors running around the warehouse with their guns going BANG BANG and it almost seems like watching a kids game of Airsoft. My favourite scene is the one where they "Cut the power!" to the facility and it goes slightly darker in there. Problem is that it's shot in broad daylight and the building has loads of windows. So you can understand how comical it seems when in the next scene our heroes are sporting night vision goggles (that magically just appeared on their heads) in broad daylight while the enemies are yelling "where are they!!!".

I don't understand how this movie is ranked in the top 5 most popular movies on here.

Thank you @aholejones for watching the movie so we don't have to. I couldn't watch the whole trailer so I imagine how painful it was to watch the movie.
The movie budget was maybe $100k and 90% of that money went to Bruce Willis, so they could put him in the cover.

I agree with the other assessments. This movie was not great at all. Kinda hard to believe Bruce Willis would have even agreed to do it.

The title leads people to assume this is a Die-hard sequel.

I think you are probably right

I agree with all of the above. A billionaire - funds unlimited - yet he can only hire four mercenaries. If his daughter created the program why would she need to steal it? She says she only gave it to the Pardoner "to test in the field" How would that work?? Just a little village to begin with ???? How would destroying half the world result in a better world order? If you went back to the stone age - knowing what we know now - NOTHING would change because human beings wouldn't change. Thinking back to the films that Willis has starred in and comparing them to this dross is really very sad and very puzzling. He can't need the money surely. Maybe - like most aging actors he just needs to be in the limelight - at any cost.
