Those Americans who have a problem with good guys ensuring bad guys receive justice should move to Europe or Mexico or some other sh!t#hole.
Bruce Willis still has a gift and was a great choice to play Kersey.

Critics don't have any problem with Brad Pitt shooting anybody, nor do they have issues with a killer using an oxygen tank to drive a rod into innocent people's brains, but let somebody who even acts slightly conservative kill an obvious criminal and that's the worst evil in the world! If you are looking for entertainment, this movie is entertaining. If you hate criminals and don't mind seeing them get killed, this movie is entertaining. If, on the other hand, you hate America and everything about it you will probably hate this movie. Move to Cuba, the Cuban government will protect you and see to all your needs! You could also get a film crew an make a movie where Planned Parenthood is the hero. Them babies are the worst! Expand

Here's an objective review of "Death Wish."

It was fine. It didn't deviate from the "vigilante seeks justice" storyline. Bruce Willis was the best choice for the vigilante role, and the actors are all fine. I liked how resourceful Willis was with using the environment in gunfights (he had a character name, but it doesn't matter), and the visual effects for gore were very well done. I admired that Willis did get hurt multiple times in the movie, and had to solve it on his own. The ending wrapped up a little too nicely, and the writers should have made the first two murders connected to Willis' struggle, since otherwise he's just killing random thieves and drug dealers. But, it's fair. I enjoyed it, for what that's worth.

You don't need to attach your political views onto the movie. The movie isn't worth your outrage. It's a popcorn movie that will be forgotten about in a few months.

@LOL_at_redhats) "While the film is probably fine"........ So you didn't watch it?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by this film. So much violence that I closed by eyes more than once. If you want to watch a film that will draw you in for an escape, this will do it.

Only scene I found unbelievable was when the city is in the midst of 24 hour coverage of the main character knowing that he is white wearing a hoodie, yet he is still wearing a hoodie walking down the street. It's like Batman episode #1 where he walks into a bar and tells the waiter he doesn't want to draw attention to himself. Nobody else wants to wear a hoodie because they would be targeted.

I recommend it and may see it again.

For Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis), life is good but at a crossroads. With his birthday coming up, his daughter Jordan (Camila Morrone) is preparing to leave their affluent Chicago home to start college in New York.

His wife Lucy (Elisabeth Shue) knows this is a good thing for their daughter but also knows that it is a turning point in their lives as they will soon be facing an empty nest.
Sadly their ideal life is turned upside down when a home invasion and robbery turns unexpectedly violent leaving Lucy dead and Jordan in a coma. A distraught Paul finds little solace in therapy or in the support of his brother Frank (Vincent D’Onofrio) who is putting his own life back together.

Frustrated by the inability of the police to find those responsible and bring them to justice; Paul becomes even more and more frustrated as the weeks pass. Paul eventually comes into possession of a gun and begins to practice with it which eventually leads him to taking to the streets in a Hoody. When a chance encounters has him gun down two criminals, Paul finds a sudden rush from his experience, especially when it was captured by an onlooker and posted online. Thanks to his face being hidden, the media dubs him the “Grim Reaper” and Paul begins a campaign of vigilante justice as he tracks down those responsible for his suffering and looks to exact a brutal revenge.
The movie directed by horror icon Eli Roth is a faithful update of the Charles Bronson classic. Paul is now Doctor Vs an Architect and Chicago not New York serves as the setting, but the tone and subject matter of the film is very much the same. Roth does show his horror background with a couple of killings that are a bit gruesome but they are not overly gratuitous as he cuts away from the carnage instead of lingering on it. What I found most satisfying is how the film moved at a slow and almost deliberate pace. This was not a run and gun action film like many of the past films Willis has done. His Kersey is an everyman who decides to take extraordinary measures when he believes the law has failed him.

He moves at a steady pace and even in the most frantic moments, moves with the speed one would expect of a man of his years who has only recently fired a gun. Although effective he is at times unsteady with his shorts and actions and his inexperience shows.
It was refreshing to see combat on screen by a character that seemed real vs a polished officer or combat vet.

The cast was solid and really worked well with one another and you could see the struggle they faced with the situations presented to them. The audience at my press screening responded well to the film and seemed to get behind Paul as he embarked on his crusade. I am very curious to see in this time of controversy about gun laws how the film will be received.

For me, “Death Wish” is a very entertaining retelling of a well-known story that still holds up and still asks many difficult questions about our society and how to best protect the ones we love.

3.5 stars out of 5.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Wish is a fantasy action flick, as was the original. How did I like the film? It was not quite as raw and blunt as the original, however was a fun romp which left me satisfied by Willis's initially broken man gone furious. Sometimes not believable, but that's just how action movies tend to be - and Death Wish knew what it was and did it well.

Now, I've seen two extremes for this movie surrounding gun politics, and a disappointing amount of critics with shallow opinions derived from this. Now, I feel the message surrounding guns in the film was from both sides - showing the dangerously easy guns are to obtain with the obnoxious amount of resources on the internet and overly exuberant sellers of weapons - and the flip side to showing the value of them (albeit unrealistic wielding by Willis). How protecting yourself is best you can do, cannot always rely on the police - it's just the original movie's message reused in today's world. However my point is polarizing views give this movie a severely skewed rating in either direction based on just the gun angle, which is a poor assessment by a movie viewer not thinking about the film as a whole - and forgetting this movie is indeed a revenge action film. I just happened to believe the stance on gun violence was actually rather balanced. There was plenty of mockery of gun enthusiasts, and there were insinuations that a majority of gun wielders besides Kersey, and educated doctor, were in over their head while using one - and that Kersey's focused and unwavering character under fire as he actually used the gun, was an exception and not a commonplace (with bumbling criminals/professionals being wiped out). There were gun jams, and fortunate situations even for this character where it's highly likely others would have died - taking the movie aspect of these scenarios and painting them as fantasy. Yes, the good guy killed everyone and got away with it - well, so did the other Paul Kersey decades ago. A movie, is a movie.

ที่ครั้งนี้แกขอแปลกแนวมาสายแอ็คชั่น แต่ก็ยังคงความโหดสยองอยู่ และก็ได้นักแสดงสายบู้ ตัวพ่อ Bruce Willis คนอึดของทุกคน ความรู้สึกหลังดู
มันเป็นการเปลี่ยนบทบาท ครั้งสำคัญของ Bruce Willis
มันก็แอ็คชั่นนั่นแหละ แต่มันเปลี่ยนที่มันไม่ได้เก่งตั้งแต่ต้นเรื่อง
มีโชว์ดราม่า และอัพระดับจากสายบู้มาสายโหด จึงเป็นบทที่ Badass มากๆ ซึ่งมันทำให้หนังดูสนุกและน่าติดตามมากขึ้น และตัวหนังมันให้อารมณ์ ระทึก กดดัน ชีนฆ่าเอาคืนก็โหดสยองเสียวๆสุดๆ ส่วนเนื้อเรื่องก็ไม่ซับซ้อน ง่ายๆไม่คิดมาก แต่ก็ชอบที่มีประเด็น ความนิ่งเฉยเมย ของกฎหมายตำรวจก็เล่ามาได้โอเคแต่ก็ไม่ได้เยอะมาก

สรุป ถึงแม้เรื่องนี้พล็อตจะไม่ซับซ้อนมาก แต่ก็มีความโหดความมันส์ ที่จะทำให้เรานึกถึงละครเรื่อง ล่า มาก ใครชอบแนวล่าแก้แค้น ก็ห้ามพลาดเลยเนออออ

It is about a man getting his revenge and kicking ass in the process. I will give the movie props for the secondary story which actually makes ride towards ending a bit uncertain. Will it be happy ending or moral message ending?

In a time where gun violence is becoming more and more of a daily occurrence in our lives, it’s easy to see why some critics have panned Death Wish, painting it as a lackluster picture. I can only assume many of the critics that have reviewedIn a time where gun violence is becoming more and more of a daily occurrence in our lives, it’s easy to see why some critics have panned Death Wish, painting it as a lackluster picture. I can only assume many of the critics that have reviewed the title thus far have feared being labeled as a pro-gun nutjob opposed to viewing the movie as a standalone experience meant to entertain the masses. I see the film as an outstanding return to form for actor Bruce Willis (Die Hard, Hostage) and director Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), both having released some not so great features as of late. I grew up in a household where Die Hard was a Christmas time staple; Willis has always been the epitome of what a man’s man looked like, and Roth has been a personal hero with his catalogue of quirky yet thrilling horror films, serving as one of my biggest inspirations when pursuing a degree in special effects.


While the film is a remake, it takes some liberties by making our protagonist Paul Kersey (played by Willis) a doctor while retaining the traits of a loving family man; the opening of the film shows that he shies away from conflict. After being called into work at the wrong time, he is stricken with grief over the death of his wife and the fact that his daughter is laying in a coma due to a home invasion gone wrong. With the police department failing him, a random chain of events sets him down a course where he spends his nights (or days) seeking justice.

As most revenge tales are, the film is a bit predictable. Most of the tension comes from wondering if Paul will find his family’s assailants, be caught by the police that are seeking him out after his first encounter goes viral, or if he’ll simply be killed, because John McClane he is not. Having most of his experience gained from online videos, he does come across as a bit clumsy at first, but in a rather quick time, he’s popping off headshots left and right. Willis does not disappoint when playing either part, but clearly is having much more fun playing the bloodthirsty version of the character.

His escapades quickly gain the attention of the media, some of which condemn his actions, while others praise the character giving him the moniker “Grim Reaper.” While I in no way condone murder, the movie paints a pretty poor picture of the local police department while portraying a realistic approach to the events had this happened in a non-fictional context, since we live in a world where people rely too much on the police to protect them with a legal system putting the criminals’ rights first. Sure, there are a few “WTF” moments, such as how someone would acquire a fully automatic machine gun legally, but the overall film works.

While the film is gory, with Roth’s background in horror shining through with a number of practical effects whenever it fits the story, it is nowhere near as gruesome as the reviews make it out to be. That said, many of the bigger deaths in the film are depicted in a much more entertaining way than other action films, which tend to have someone being shot and falling over, rinse and repeat. Paul even goes as far to use his medical knowledge to torture one of the criminals to the audience’s delight. The previously released Death Sentence, which is another remake of sorts of the same film, had much more gore shown front and center, with a much higher body count, and it received none of the backlash that this film has.

Death Wish isn’t going to add much to the revenge film genre, but it does provide an entertaining way to spend 2 hours. While the original film appears dated 30 years later, the remake does the namesake justice and should not be missed, despite many of the critics saying otherwise.

But I'm glad this movie has been made, just to kick against their holy houses. Just very sad to see these critics devalue this movie to give them some easy and cheap moral brownie points. Hope it scored well with their quasi intellectual blogger friends. Go see it and make up your own mind, I would say.. Expand

The directing style was really good with all the interestingly shot action scenes and the stable cams with amazing quality. The script was pretty basic but non the less intriguing. The character development and time invested in each personality is impressive for an action movie. It really creates immersion between the characters and the viewers. It was really good from the point of view of the message that it delivered and serious problems reflected in real life. Also the brute and pure reality of emotions and tension was amazingly delivered for an average action movie plot. The events where also realistically crafted and everything was believable.
Overall this was a very good movie with a little drop of cheesy acting and weakly developed plot, but everything else was really on point.

Bruce Willis has been fading lately with an assembly line of movies, but I enjoyed Death Wish. Surprising retelling of the original movie that I never liked, and more gore than necessary. Good cast.

An entertaining (full of) action film.

I enjoyed 'Death Wish', plain and simply. The action is satisfying, with it featuring some neat death scenes. The plot, meanwhile, is one that has heart to it. Bruce Willis is suitably fun in the titular role and is joined by the terrific Dean Norris. Camila Morrone is the pick of the rest of the cast.

It's nothing deserving of any awards of course, but that's OK as this is a production well worth a watch - in my opinion at least. Not seen the original yet, will aim to check it (and its many sequels) out some time.

Perfect casting with Bruce Willis.
It has two or three bad scenes, e.g. when he was saved by a bowling ball, or when he shot in a gang's street and no one shot back. Otherwise very good.

esta película tiene todo para ser mala, una historia de venganza más, un actor que desde hace un tiempo parece que ya ni lee los guiones que le mandan, una canción de ac/dc por si te quedaba duda de que esto esta inspirado en las películas deesta película tiene todo para ser mala, una historia de venganza más, un actor que desde hace un tiempo parece que ya ni lee los guiones que le mandan, una canción de ac/dc por si te quedaba duda de que esto esta inspirado en las películas de acción de los 80´s, solo que sin los músculos, que de eso y a su edad bruce willis ya no puede dar.

y sin embargo la realización, el desarrollo de la trama y las escenas sangrientas contentan las expectativas, realmente entiendes las motivaciones del personaje, vez su progreso y su conclusión; y todo es mas simple que un tazón de cereal si, pero esta bien hecho, si quieres una película entretenida sin ser estupida, pero jamás tan complicada que tu padre medio sordo no le entienda, esta película va a ser una buena tarde de entretenimiento a la antigua, ver y disfrutar de una historia que mas que vieja es clásica.
