What do you do when your wife and daughter get shot in a robbery gone wrong? When your wife ends up DEAD on a hospital table and your daughter is left in a coma clinging for his life?
Apparently, you get like, really really bummed out. You don't get TOO upset but damn if you're not just a little bit bothered by the fact that your family just got raided and gunned down.
So it goes in the weird parallel universe this movie is set in. Watch as Bruce Willis react mildly when he first sets eyes on the dead corpse of his wife. Watch as he shrugs when her casket is lowered to the earth. Watch as he nearly dozes off looking at his daughter in a coma for the first time.
Then, watch as the movie presents some wildly inappropriate montage with rock music as Bruce Willis learns how to handle a gun. Then look as he goes completely nuts terrorizing the streets of Chicago all the while laudably still performing his duties as a doctor. Watch as he goes far beyond and above your average psychopath into frenzy mass murderer stuntman. Watch as this movie condones all of it, and all but applauds him for it.
Sure, in some other universe this could be considered in poor taste. But that is not the case in the universe of Death Wish. In that universe it just a day in the life zombiedad, America's finest, mass murdered at your service.
