I can not think of any other 'supposed' thriller that sets out the main plot 'twist' so clearly in the very beginning of the film. After seeing the main protagonist shot and then cutting to the main body of the storyline, they couldn't have made it clearer unless they placed the words "I'M DEAD!" in 5' tall glowing letters over Willis' head.
After that the only thing keeping you watching is the certain belief that they must have something else to offer, it was so obvious that it must be a red herring.... musn't it?
Unfortunatly not, that is indeed the main (and only) hook the film has to offer.
When the final sequence occurs and they try to spell it out for you, just in case you where BLIND or perhaps had fallen asleep and missed the glaringly obvious point, you are left with disgust that they could be so patronising, that they could think you to be such a moron that you hadn't spotted it!
