Production
[edit]In 2021, Bruce Willis signed on to star in the action film Wrong Place, with filming commencing later that year.[5] In March 2022, the film's director Mike Burns, who previously directed another Bruce Willis film Out of Death, said, "before filming commenced on Wrong Place in 2021, I asked one of Willis's associates how the actor felt and was told he was much better than last year. I took the associates' word for it, but soon realized that Willis was worse. After I finished filming, I said, 'I'm done. I won't make another movie with Bruce Willis.' I'm relieved that he's on vacation."[5] Wrong Place is one of the last films to star Willis, who retired from acting because he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.[6][7][8]

Brian Orndorf, of Blu-ray.com, gave a negative review, writing "Wrong Place is as worthless and tiresome as Out of Death, and let's hope the production team doesn't make this a yearly event."[14] Julian Roman, of MovieWeb, also gave a negative review, saying the film had an "absurd plot, terrible script, and amateurish direction."[15] Maxwell Rabb, of Chicago Reader, gave a negative review, saying "Wrong Place is a convoluted mess that struggles to connect disjunctive plot points as they dawdle their way to the movie's inevitable conclusion".[16] Tara McNamara, of Common Sense Media, awarded the film one star out of five, writing "throwaway action films like this one are known for featuring a former but memorable tough guy marquee name, a forgettable plot, low production budget, and a high weapon count".[17]
