American Siege
Directed by Edward Drake
Written by Corey Large, Edward Drake
Starring Bruce Willis, Rob Gough, Anna Hindman
Release Date December 28th, 2021
American Siege kind of stars Bruce Willis as a lazy, slightly corrupt, County sheriff in some small corner of Georgia. Willis plays Ben, a character so lazily rendered that giving him a last name was too much effort. Reportedly, Willis shot every one of his scenes for American Siege in a single day and boy does it show. Willis acts as if he’s paid by the length of every word, slowly slurring every line. No, Willis isn’t drunk, this is the slur of a man uttering lines he’s reading off a cue card just out of frame and for the very first time.
Watch Willis’s eyes in American Siege and you can play the 'which direction is the cue card guy' home game. A fun American Siege drinking game might be watching Willis’s eyes searching for the cue card at the start of his scenes. That’s certainly more fun than anything else in this latest late period Bruce Willis paycheck job. American Siege finds Willis at his laziest, hiring his friends and standing around while the action happens around him, seemingly refusing to shoot scenes with the rest of the main cast.
