Death Wish

First of all, don't be surprised by the low score on Rotten Tomatoes and other sides. Most of these so-called "movie critics" are just anti-gun advocates pushing their agenda under the guise of a movie review.

This is a well directed remake of a vigilante movie from the 70s starring Charles Bronson. The director Elit Roth strikes the right chord by setting this simple but powerful story in modern day Chicago. The tone and message remain largely the same which I consider a big plus because it's a sign of respect to the original.

This is an above average r-rated action movie with decent performances, nice cinematography, good pacing and a fitting soundtrack. If you like Bruce Willis or the original "Death Wish" go check it out. Don't be scared off by negative reviews.

Poor old Bruce is showing his age. If you can forgive the lack of 'Die Hard' action and replace it with gore, brain matter being splattered everywhere and a good feel factor ending, this is a great watch during lockdown. Bruce's character is likeable and believable. The storyline (ignoring the original Charles Bronson movie) is plausible and as mentioned, enough gore and satisfying 'punisher' style payback to keep fans happy. There was no cringy old man exertion and silly fights. Just a man being a vigilante. Nicely made and a decent pace with the right amount of action and a few smiles and puns on the way

Well done Bruce, this was your kind of movie. A kind of die hard for a 65 year old ex action hero.

Far better then the 6.4 it's getting at the time am writing this. Have seen all the death films, wish as am that old. Really enjoyed this remake. It is a new take on an old film and they haven't tried to copy it to the letter. The story is the same but done differently if you get my drift. If your as old as me then I think you will enjoy it. If your not as old as me then I think you will love it. Clive.

Please note the difference between user reviews and pitiful critic scores.

This movie was well written, thoughtfully acted and I was most impressed by the characters of Paul and Frank (Willis and D'Onofrio, respectively).

Director Eli Roth brings the fun, gory, and pro-gun flick to life and makes every second worth your while.

I highly recommend this film and believe this was a hit, not a miss.

A remake of Michael Winner's Death Wish, that in itself is kind of depressing. How can the filmmakers be so unaware of the times we're living in or maybe they are not, unaware. If they know what they're doing then it's just unforgivable. But if one tries to put all that aside and try to see it just as a movie without any deep or ugly intentions, still doesn't work. No, not for a moment. We've all seen it before, a million times. and much, much better.
