Bravery is in short supply in today’s Hollywood, though it is sorely needed. It was needed even in the 1970s, in a much more open-minded and permissive age, when big studios used to try new things and break all kinds of taboos. Some lines even then were more difficult to cross than others, and one such example was the adaptation of Brian Garfield’s novel that would ultimately become *Death Wish*, the 1974 crime thri…More
Stumbled upon this movie a couple days ago while zapping the tv late at night. I think I missed the first couple five or something minutes but it felt like I didn't miss anything important. Bruce Willis was the main star and with nothing better to do I gave it a watch. This is an action thriller vigilante movie. The plot isn't anything special and we have seen it again and again. Bruce Willis is a successful law abi…More

# My Review Death Wish is a remake of the 1974 Charles Bronson vigilante movie and is directed by Eli Roth. Bruce Willis was, well Bruce Willis, in this film, minus the sarcasm of Die Hard. The film dragged a little bit in the beginning as Roth tried to set up the characters, which he really didn't need to. We got it. Husband, wife, and daughter. Home invasion. Nuff said. Let's get to the Eli Roth blood and guts. Th…More
The *Death Wish* franchise of the 1970s, like the *Planet of the Apes* franchise, milked every dollar they could out of sequels. Unlike *Planet of the Apes*, there wasn't anything in the original films that screams to me *remake*. A couple of them were decent films, and Charles Bronson was *the man* in that era. But I'm just not sure we needed a 2018 make-over. They are not horrible films, but they don't tread any n…More
I remember when I was young, there were 2 actors my father raved about. That was Bruce Lee and Charles Bronson. This remake made me think about my father, so this post is for him. The action movies I've seen this year in 2018, The Commuter & Den of Thieves and out of both of them, Death Wish beats them all! I would have to give this movie a 7/10 (closer to an 8), the storyline is believable, the action and death sce…More
I am not expecting this movie to be too great from the trailer. But it does have Eli Roth, Bruce Willis and Hank from breaking bad. And I do love grindhouse. I guess it is that more authentic to the grindhouse genre that it probably won't be very good.More
Bruce Willis movies have not been very good recently. And I am not sure what to think of Eli Roth. I know hostel is the famous one but I have not seen that one yet. I liked his movie Aftershock, but he only produced that. I saw his movie The Green Inferno that he directed and thought it was shit. And he is directing this new movie too. So I certainly do not have high expectations for this movie.More
