Death Wish

Good story with enough complexity to keep you thinking. Very well shot, with a good variety of locations, and tightly edited. Some scenes might perhaps have benefited from the use of a steady cam device. Special effects were superb - the machine gun especially. It's hard to believe that it was entirely computer generated and wasn't actually in the room when the scene was shot. The special effects didn't get in the way, and complemented the story well. Background music was fantastic and really helped to build the tension throughout. The script was verbose in a couple of places usually in an effort to explain the plot, which interrupted the pace of the film, and the dialogue was occasionally difficult to hear, but these are minor criticisms. Overall, a great effort, especially given the limited budget.
