Review of Death Wish

Death Wish (2018)
6/10
A man sees red ... again
11 April 2019
So in Germany the original got retitled - see my summary line above. But the remake got the original title. Which I guess is kind of strange, but then again that shouldn't matter to the viewers anyway. This little side story aside, fans of the Original Charles Bronson movie, might feel that no Remake can even come close to their movie.

If you don't have those prohibitions you will be able to watch a quite decent remake. Eli Roth isn't a bad director at all. While I haven't seen his most recent movie, this one was pretty good indeed. And even if saying that it's one of the better roles Bruce Willis had in the last couple of years isn't saying much either, it is something that is true.

While Eli Roth went family movie after this, he does not hold back on the violence here. So not for the faint of heart at all. Quite brutal and remember, it's just a movie. It does not promote vigilant behaviour at all.
