Bruce Willis playing a tough guy is a no-brainer. Bruce Willis playing the leader of a group of tough guys? Another no-brainer. So yeah, Bruce Willis being the first official castmember to sign up for Sony/Columbia’s “Five Against a Bullet” just made this project a little more interesting. Which, I guess, was the point. The film, from producers Lorenzo Dibonaventura, Jordan Schur, and David Mimran, would pit five of the world’s best bodyguards against a Mexican drug cartel’s hired guns who are targeting a politician. It is the five men’s job to keep the pol safe while he tries to win an election or, well, not get paid, I guess. Kinda hard to get money from a dead man, even in Mexico. Willis, meanwhile, isn’t exactly short for work. He’s got “A Good Day to Die Hard”, the fifth in the series, gearing up to shoot soon,...
