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.

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.
