Bruce Willis is all set to compete with the likes of Scott Adkins and Dolph Lundgren, his 'Expendanbles' mates. The 'Die Hard' star is all set to play a revenge-driven antagonist in 'Deadlock', an action-thriller that also which co-stars Patrick Muldoon. 'Deadlock' releases the same day as 'Castle Falls', the much-awaited thriller starring Adkins and Lundgren in key roles. It's rare to see Willis be the baddie, especially when the world remembers him as one of Hollywood's bonafide action heroes for the last two decades, but the trailer shows the man is comfortable issuing threats and being one.

Quite recently, Willis was seen in 'Apex', a remake of the '94 blockbuster, 'Surviving the Game' starring Ice-T and Rutger Hauer. The movie revolves around Thomas Malone (Willis) serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. But he is given a chance to be free if he can survive a twister game. In 'Deadlock', he's the man keen on doing some head-bashing. Ahead of the release, here's five things to know about the thriller feature.
