    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During a torture scene, Bruce Willis comments saying its "the most pain a human can endure before going into cardiac arrest". This was discovered by scientists of Unit 731 (a covert biological and chemical warfare R&D unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II) who experimented with various ways to torture someone without killing them by actually torturing prisoners of war.
    • Goofs
      Kersey doesn't wear gloves and leaves fingerprints all over. The cops never dust for prints.
    • Quotes

      [from trailer]

      Punk Leader: Who are you?

      Paul Kersey: Your last customer.

      [Paul shoots the punk leader]

    • Crazy credits
      When the title is shown on screen, it is faded away by the image of "flatlining" on a medical monitor. This effect is used in the closing credits as well.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK theatrical version was cut by 14 seconds to reduce a torture scene. This was done to earn a 15 certificate after the uncut version originally received an 18. The uncut version was later released on home media formats.

    This Remake Is Worthwhile Watching
    Remakes are usually waste of time, destroying classic films with lower quality rip-offs using the marketing of the original success as an easy way of promotion. A remake of 1974 Charles Bronson´s "Death Wish", maybe his most famous film, sounds an absurd based on the notorious storyline. However, Eli Roth once again succeeds in making an entertaining film, a kind of update of the plot despite the same storyline, with veteran actors and actresses and great music score. If you are neither intellectual nor professional critic and like action movies, you will certainly enjoy "Death Wish" (2018). My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Desejo de Matar" ("Death Wish")
