“Hard Kill” (** out of four) was a wearily derivative action potboiler about a billionaire C.E.O. (Bruce Willis) whose daughter (Lala Kent) is kidnapped for ransom money and he enlists mercenaries-for-hire (led by Jesse Metcalfe) who save her and protect vital and valuable information for his company that could lead to worldwide war and destruction. Neither the best nor the worst of this genre but Willis has done- and can do- far better than this. Features enough firepower and fighting to make it watchable for genre fans but a definite sense of deja vu hangs over the proceedings. At 65 years old, it’s “hard” to see what keeps Willis doing these routine paycheck programmers.
