In Tinseltown, people make and break history every other day. Henry Cavill, an established showrunner in this field, has showcased plenty of examples of it throughout his acting career over the years. While Cavill’s excellence has never been confined to one genre, his soft corner for the action cartel has been often visible in his take-ups. And the same was also true about his 2012 flick with Bruce Willis.

As he greets the New Year with the suspenseful espionage thriller Argylle, aligning his comeback to the big screens, let’s take a look at this 2012 spy movie that could set the stage for Cavill’s upcoming. 

What was Henry Cavill and Bruce Willis’ 2012 covert mission?

Having etched his name as the one with the red cape with his stellar performances of dumbfounding action moves, Henry Cavill is no longer a newcomer to the world of cinema. Moreover, he is also not a newbie to the arena of intelligence suspense. His 2012 action thriller with Bruce Willis called The Cold Light of Day was a box-office hit, cradled with an intense play of violence and action.

The espionage suspense was a star-studded affair and very much ahead of its time. The crime thriller is a 93-minute-long story of a family vacation gone wrong. Filled with dramatic tropes and sharpening intrigues, the film was released in the UK in April 2012 and it hit the theatres in the States later in September. Now that Cavill is stepping into the territory of the classified mission yet again, one can remain assured that no novice is taking up the saddle of the anticipated drama.

As Henry Cavill moves on to woo the audience with Argylle in less than a month, let’s get to know what his 2012 thriller project was all about. 

More about The Cold Light of Day 

Henry Cavill has walked into the New Year’s with an Argylle spin. But before going head over heels over that, getting to know his prior expertise in the genre would be a good sport. Brimming with car-chases and political hotchpotch, The Cold Light of Day was an action lover’s dream sequence. Donning the protagonist’s badge, Henry Cavill played Will Shaw, the American businessman whose family trip turns into a desperate attempt to save his kin.

Bruce Willis, on the other hand, is a CIA agent, Martin Shaw, whose revelation only comes after the kidnapping incident. Putting a spin on the version of a classic Spanish holiday, Mabrouk El Mechri brought the best out of the suspense visuals. As it also chartered the role of Cavill’s prospect as a CIA agent in the conclusion, years later now, it will be a good time to put to test how he has honed his secret agent skin since then.
