Death Wish (2018)
Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of Chicago 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 vigilante is a guardian angel or a grim reaper.

    • 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.

    Elizabeth still got it*
    I was very impressed with this film. It had some pretty sexy honeys. The acting is above average for a block buster and the story very realistic, but one thing that impressed me was that Elizabeth Shue and daughter are so thin and sexy.

    This is definitely a great watch with some great action and writing and I'm sure that most will not be disappointed.

    *aka why is the rating so low?
