I agree that Wire Room isn't a good movie by any objective standards. Like most, if not all, of Willis latest movies it is a rather cheap straight-to-DVD movie. It's easy to assume that Willis just showed up to grab the pay check.
But regarding all his movies since 2019/20 it is important to recognize the following: Earlier in 2022 Willis announced to end his acting career after he and his family made public that he suffers from aphasia, which is a brain disorder that can affect a person's ability to speak, listen, read and write. Obviously, this heavily affects his ability to act, remember lines and interact with other actors. This was probably also the reason why he didn't have much screentime in his last big movie, Glass, after the first act.
This puts things into a totally different perspective.
As far as I know Willis is financially secured, he didn't need to do it for the money. He kept starring in movies because he just LOVED making them, being on set and being part of the collaborative effort to create a movie.
It is easy to dismiss Willis' latest efforts as bad movies, they mostly are, but considering his condition offers a different perspective. "Wire Room" will most likely be one of his last movies, his very last movie will probably be "Paradise City" (currently in post-production) in which he worked alongside John Travolta one last time.
Instead of focusing on his last movies, we should celebrate and honor Bruce Willis for all his great work and the impact he had on the whole movie industry in over 40 years.
Thank you for all the amazing cinematic experiences you have given us over the last decades, Mr. Willis. I wish you and your family all the best.
