Bruce Willis is always a big box-office draw for the movies he is featured in. He has still has a large fan base of both men and women in all age groups due to his varied movie rolls, like the Die Hard movies, Red, and the Expendables. Ving Rhames joined forced for a second time with Bruce; the first was in Pulp Fiction. Once again, they make excellent onscreen enemies with a twist in the end. Other cast members include greats, such as Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Boris Kodjoe, James Francis Ginty, James Cromwell, and many others.
The next thing that had fans flocking to the theaters to see Surrogates was the movie trailer.
