8.2 Death Wish
Drama, Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures presents director Eli Roth's reimagining of the 1974 revenge thriller Death Wish. Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of his city's violence when it is rushed into his ER - until his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are viciously attacked in their suburban home. With the police overloaded with crimes, Paul, burning for revenge, hunts his family's assailants to deliver justice. As the anonymous slayings of criminals grabs the media's attention, the city wonders if this deadly avenger is a guardian angel or a grim reaper. Fury and fate collide in the intense action-thriller Death Wish. Paul Kersey becomes a divided person: a man who saves lives, and a man who takes them; a husband and father trying to take care of his family, and a shadowy figure fighting crime; a surgeon extracting bullets from suspects' bodies, and a man seeking justice that detectives are quickly closing in on.

  • A lot of people were blown away by Bruce's performance. I really enjoyed the gun safety lessons in this movie. There's the slide issue, shooting in your garage, clearing jams, and finally proper cleaning--Bang, bang!Have you ever owned a Glock? Really! It's Chicago. Everybody's got a Glock or two. You can't even sell ice cream without one. And then there's the interior design lessons, especially on what kind of furniture a thoughtful person needs. I feel you, Bruce. Staple me some of that!For your $8 bucks you get $10 worth of entertainment--if you're a conservative. If you're a liberal, you should stay home. This will be upsetting for you.For your $8 ticket, you'll get $8 worth of entertainment. (Stop pointing your finger at me, Bruce! K?)

  • Bruce Willis is still one of the best action stars ever! Death Wish is a really exciting action film that doesn't let up on the thrills! You gotta love it cause of Bruce Willis and the way it takes it's time to deliver a shootout! I enjoyed this movie more than the Charles Bronson films! The ending was crazy!

  • Fun, sad, action filled with just the right amount of gun play. Seem like the exact type of thing a guy/Vet like me would do if my family was attacked. Most of the movie going critical critics don't know shit about how even an ordinary man can snap and turn into a man on fire killing machine. It's was good and I could see this happening TODAY!

  • Great shoot em up entertainment. Zero messages here. Nothing a real gun owner would ever do except protecting the daughter and self at home using legal firearms. If you see anything except entertainment here, you're missing the point. There ain't no point, just watch and eat your popcorn . Leave the political rants to Fox and CNN.

  • Mediocre entertainment.

  • Briskly paced and uses it's spare time building suspense instead of unnecessary hand to hand combat, explosions, or car chases.

  • This movie builds into this event. It has a lot more setup then the original. It is far more realistic then the original as well. A really fun romp with an excellent ending. Kick back relax and root for the semi bad good guy.

  • Remake d'un justicier dans la ville , cela reste un honnête divertissement avec un bon Bruce Willis

  • Eli Roth and Bruce Willis faithfully update the hoary cliché of the-good-man-made-bad vengeance flick. Although the politics might be questionable, the action flick genre is not ill-served by this new/old entry. You get what you pay for.

  • a WONDERFUL ACTION FILM! VERY OLD SCHOOL AND POLITICS-FREE. shame ON YOU, CRITICS, FOR BEING SO FAR FROM A NORMAL VIEWER WHO DOESN'T WANT YOUR AGENDA. KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES AND LET OTHERS ENJOY A FILM AS IT SHOULD BE.

  • This Was objectively a good movie. Not a Great movie. It doesn't shove liberal propaganda down your throat so critics hated it. Eli Roth And Willis were shafted by smug critics
