A new action thriller starring Bruce Willis is now available to watch on demand, but you may not want to. Hard Kill is currently sitting at the infamous 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but for those of you feeling intrepid enough to check it out, this is what to expect:
Mercenaries find themselves racing the clock to stop a world-changing computer program from being triggered.
In Hard Kill’s defence, there is a caveat to lend to its 0% rating. Only 12 Tomato-certified critics have reviewed it so far, a much smaller sample size than you’d see for mainstream releases. I can also offer the fact that it clocks in at just under 100 minutes, meaning that you won’t be subjected for very long. However, awful films have a habit of making even the smallest units of time stretch into infinity, so even that may not be a positive.

We’re still a couple of weeks out from The Boys returning with its second season, but based on the footage we’ve seen so far, it certainly looks as if we’re in for another wild ride. One that may even top the first run of the show, which was one of the best things that we’d seen on television in a long time.
Of course, trying to predict how something as crazy as The Boys is going to end up is a fool’s errand, but let’s not forget that it won’t be the only new thing arriving on Amazon Prime in September. Far from it, in fact.

An election season is fast-approaching in the U.S. So for its new releases in September 2020, Amazon Prime is bringing back one of its most political shows.
The Boys season 2 premieres its first three episodes on September 4. Though the show on its face is a superhero story, viewers of season 1 will know it’s really about America’s troubling embrace of entertainment with fascism. Sounds fun and not at all terrifying right before a presidential election!
That’s not the only bleak Amazon original on the schedule for September. British TV adaptation Utopia arrives on September 25. This Gillian Flynn-produced series follows fans of a comic book who believe it predicts…world-ending pandemics. Darn it. Amazon’s only original film this month is a…documentary about voter suppression from Liz Garbus called All In: The Fight for Democracy. Yikes.

As one of the weirder “back to school” seasons in living memory rolls out, Hulu is heading back to school in its own way for September 2020.
The biggest Hulu original arriving to the streaming services stream this month is season 2 of coming-of-age comedy Pen15…which of course stars two adults who have already come of age playing their middle school selves.
Speaking of middle school, perhaps the biggest non-original addition to the Hulu library this month is the arrival of all The Twilight Saga movies on September 1. That should prove to be a real nostalgia trip for interested parties. Other library titles of note include Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, The Terminator, and 2019’s Judy on September 25.
Bookending Hulu’s originals this month is another intriguing comedy, Woke. This series will star Lamorne Morris as a Black cartoonist who gets an unexpected wakeup call.

So Bruce Willis and Steve Guttenberg have never been in a movie together as B. Alan Orange of MovieWeb tells us, and they’ve never been cops together in the same movie, well, at least one of these things has been rectified. So far the movie Trauma Center looks as though it might be something that something like CinemaSins or Honest Trailers will be getting hold of rather quickly even as people tend to find that it might be kind of a nice thriller and a change of pace. Honestly it does bring up a lot of questions already since the

Bruce Willis has a new action thriller coming out called Trauma Center. It’s a hospital survival thriller and Willis takes on the role of Lt. Wakes, “a vengeful police detective determined to solve the murders of his partner and an informant.” As you’ll see, this is the kind of movie that Willis sleepwalks his way through. It’s sad when Willis looks like the least interesting part of the movie.
In the story, Wakes joins forces with Madison, “a witness injured during the shootings. After the killers pursue Madison across the abandoned floor of a hospital, she confirms Wakes’s worst fears: the two men are actually corrupt vice cops covering up a crime. As Wakes vows revenge, this heart-pounding action-thriller reaches an explosive climax.”

"Maddie! Don't make this harder than it already is!" Lionsgate at Home has debuted the first official trailer for a new low-grade action thriller titled Trauma Center, which is one of those vague and terrible titles for a film that doesn't setup anything. Alone and trapped in a locked-down hospital ward overnight, an injured woman must escape a pair of vicious killers who are after the only piece of evidence that can implicate them in a grisly murder - the bullet in her leg. Luckily, a veteran cop is assigned to protect her, and he becomes her protector as the night grows more dangerous. Bruce Willis stars as the cop, and Nicky Whelan as the woman, and also featuring Steve Guttenberg, Tito Ortiz, Texas Battle, Lynn Gilmartin, Tyler Jon Olson, and Heather Johansen. This definitely looks as bad as it sounds, another bargain bin collectible. Here's the first official trailer...

Bruce Willis has been brought aboard the action-thriller The Long Night, from Matt Eskandari, and screenwriter Doug Wolfe.
Willis will star in the film wherein “two ruthless criminals break into a disgraced doctor’s home to be given medical attention after one of them is shot during a robbery gone wrong. Knowing that he lacks the expertise to patch up the injured trespasser, the doctor must protect his family at all costs.”
This sounds like a very Bruce Willis type role with lots of action and suspense. This movie is still very early in development, but in the mean time, we will see Willis in the Eskandari directed film Trauma Center, as well as the upcoming Die Hard franchise film, McClane, and the soonest film coming out, the crime drama Motherless Brooklyn, which will be out in November.
Are you excited to see Willis in his upcoming action and drama roles?...

Knowing that he lacks the expertise to patch up the injured trespasser, the doctor must protect his family at all costs.”
This sounds like a very Bruce Willis type role with lots of action and suspense. This movie is still very early in development, but in the mean time, we will see Willis in the Eskandari directed film Trauma Center, as well as the upcoming Die Hard franchise film, McClane, and the soonest film coming out, the crime drama Motherless Brooklyn, which will be out in November.
Are you excited to see Willis in his upcoming action and drama roles?...
