Actors That Don't Act Properly Anymore

Have to address the Walter Hill comment: Let's see, since 48Hrs, the "Buddy Buddy" movies he's made were Red Heat and Another 48Hrs. Yeah, a real victim of "recipe". Although, I suppose you could include Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden-Church in Broken Trail, but that would be a real stretch.
As far as Hill's track record, I can't think of many action directors who have this impressive body of work.
If we all liked the same movie, there'd only be one movie! -

I think Sly did pretty good in this.
You pretty know what to expect by watching the trailer,
and this movie simply dishes it out.
Some good lines delivered in old man Sly style.
I wont be buying the blu-ray anytime soon,
but I was entertained.
Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that. -

Big fan of the Rocky and Rambo series of movies. Stallone was a bad ass. But there is no way a 32 year old hottie Sarah Shahi would hang out with a 65 year old grandpa Sylvester Stallone.
Hollywood does this regularly and its ridiculous. Unless I see Stallone as a father figure or a mentor or a bit part actor, it does not work. He isn't a lead anymore. -

Wake up, guys. You aren't making any sense. An actor is involved in whatever development is in the script, and says the lines that are in the script the way the director wants him to say them.
You can blame an actor for taking a part in a bad script, but it's pretty illogical and dumb to blame the actor for what he says in the film and what happens in the film.
And before you blame an actor for working in a bad movie (which this isn't) to make money, take a good look at yourselves. Pretty much all of us prostitute ourselves in crappy jobs to eke out an existence. -

You reckon someone like Sly doesn't have the same power if not more than the director?! He's at the level where what he says goes, even if he's not directing. Actors always have an input in the script and direction, from something really minor to almost replacing the director

I'm not arguing with you but Sly actually worked on the script; which should be no big surprise to anyone since he wrote most of the screenplays he starred in.
This was better than I thought it would be. The nostalgic vibe of the 80's certainly brought back memories.
But it is silly for people to think the director holds no responsibility for what appears on the screen. -

Fluke Skywalker nailed it. Bruce dosen't give a damn anymore. Arnie tries but just dosen't have it in him anymore. Sly is by far the most passionate of the three and even in bad movies always gives 100%. You couldn't pay Sly to phone it in. He loves his work far to much.

This is a late response, but have you seen Blood Father? It is, in my estimation, the best action film of the year, and Mel Gibson delivered the best performance of 2016 (to date). It was an amazing, multi-layered performance and one that put most of his contemporaries (Sly, Willis, Arnold) to shame.
As depressing as it is to see a popular movie icon slumming it and phoning it in, it is a real rush to see one at the top of his game and eager to prove he's still the best in the business like Mel did in Blood Father.
