The Player worked, this did not, and is this a Bruce Willis film?

All Hollywood insider films are now self indulgent and passe, doesn't everyone know this? Apparently, self indulgence is a religion in Hollywood, and everyone who worked on this film had fun and made money I'm sure.

Bruce Willis seems like a cool guy, he's always funny on Letterman, well almost always, but let me ask you, that was a cameo, right, just like The Player. But here's my real question, has Bruce Willis ever starred in a great film? I know he has a lot of action fans and his Die Hard stuff made a lot of money but he's never been nominated for anything has he, and none of his films have ever won any awards or gotten great critical notice, have they? I'm just asking.

I thought this film was a masterpiece! Just as good as The Player and one of Robert De Niros 5 best films (seen 34). Robert De Niro was amazing. The whole film was amazing and yes Bruce Willis was amazing. The best part of it IMO.

Anyways Die Hard was awesome. As was DH3 and The Last Boyscout. But his best are Unbreakable(10/10), Sin City (9.5/10) and The Sixth Sense(9/10), for not to mention this fantastic film (10/10). Seen 32 films with Willis this far. If you want too see if he have been nominated or won anything check his profile.

Are you kidding? What about Pulp Fiction you hack?
Sixth Sense, Die Hard 1 and The Last Boyscout are great too

Willis received critical praise in Sixth Sense and Twelve Monkeys. The Die Hard films are also excellent as posters above mention. I feel that he's more than proven himself as an actor. Unfortunately DeNiro seems to only make dogs these days. When did DeNiro last make something good? Cape Fear?
