My kids made me go see this movie, and after watching it I was glad they did. The story different enough to make this one seem very "now", so comparing this movie to the 1974 original is really not fair to either movie. Bruce Willis is good, Elisabeth Shue is good, the detectives are good. The movie doesn't run long, is paced well and I liked the action. Movies are supposed to entertain and this one is entertaining.
I remember seeing the original Death Wish in a drive-in. It was good, too. I hope they do a sequel for this one.
