18. ‘Last Man Standing’ (1996)

Here’s another case where Willis made the mistake of starring in a remake that had no good reason to exist in the first place. “Last Man Standing” transplants Akira Kurosawa’s “Yojimbo” into a Prohibition-era gangster setting but fails to channel any of that film’s appeal. (Although writer-director Walter Hill’s muscular staging is appreciated.) Willis was particularly criticized for his bland, emotionless performance.
