Bruce Willis in 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.

    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.

    Decent watch
    Poor old Bruce is showing his age. If you can forgive the lack of 'Die Hard' action and replace it with gore, brain matter being splattered everywhere and a good feel factor ending, this is a great watch during lockdown. Bruce's character is likeable and believable. The storyline (ignoring the original Charles Bronson movie) is plausible and as mentioned, enough gore and satisfying 'punisher' style payback to keep fans happy. There was no cringy old man exertion and silly fights. Just a man being a vigilante. Nicely made and a decent pace with the right amount of action and a few smiles and puns on the way

    Well done Bruce, this was your kind of movie. A kind of die hard for a 65 year old ex action hero.
