Death Wish

Please note the difference between user reviews and pitiful critic scores.

This movie was well written, thoughtfully acted and I was most impressed by the characters of Paul and Frank (Willis and D'Onofrio, respectively).

Director Eli Roth brings the fun, gory, and pro-gun flick to life and makes every second worth your while.

I highly recommend this film and believe this was a hit, not a miss.

A remake of Michael Winner's Death Wish, that in itself is kind of depressing. How can the filmmakers be so unaware of the times we're living in or maybe they are not, unaware. If they know what they're doing then it's just unforgivable. But if one tries to put all that aside and try to see it just as a movie without any deep or ugly intentions, still doesn't work. No, not for a moment. We've all seen it before, a million times. and much, much better.

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")

Far better then the 6.4 it's getting at the time am writing this. Have seen all the death films, wish as am that old. Really enjoyed this remake. It is a new take on an old film and they haven't tried to copy it to the letter. The story is the same but done differently if you get my drift. If your as old as me then I think you will enjoy it. If your not as old as me then I think you will love it. Clive.

First of all, don't be surprised by the low score on Rotten Tomatoes and other sides. Most of these so-called "movie critics" are just anti-gun advocates pushing their agenda under the guise of a movie review.

This is a well directed remake of a vigilante movie from the 70s starring Charles Bronson. The director Elit Roth strikes the right chord by setting this simple but powerful story in modern day Chicago. The tone and message remain largely the same which I consider a big plus because it's a sign of respect to the original.

This is an above average r-rated action movie with decent performances, nice cinematography, good pacing and a fitting soundtrack. If you like Bruce Willis or the original "Death Wish" go check it out. Don't be scared off by negative reviews.
