Death Wish

About This Movie

So, here's the deal with 'Death Wish' (2018). It’s a remake, for sure, but it carries this gritty tone that really leans into the darker aspects of vigilante justice. Bruce Willis steps into the shoes of a father whose world crumbles after a brutal crime. The pacing is pretty relentless, taking you from his mundane life to this chaotic descent into violence. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, deliver a rawness that feels authentic. The performances vary, but Willis brings a certain gravitas to his role. It's not without its flaws, and you can definitely feel the weight of its themes—revenge, loss, the moral conundrums of justice. Definitely a different kind of film compared to the original, but it carves its own path.
