A cathartic revenge drama that delivers vicarious thrills for anyone who has ever felt outraged yet helpless about crime and disorder . A reboot from the successful crime thriller that created the Vigilante genre to deliver expeditive justice with Charles Bronson as the main star . An experienced trauma surgeon, a man who has spent his life saving lives called Paul Kersey (Bruce Wilis) -and who only sees the aftermath of his city's violence at his E.R.-, turns vigilante after an attack on his family and taking the law into his own hands as a judge , jury and executioner . This new entry with excessive violence concerns Paul Kersey , a middle-aged Chicago surgeon who becomes a vigilante . He lives in Chicago along with his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and daughter (Camilla Morrone) at a suburban mansion . Kersey turns the one-man vigilante rushed in extreme violence when his family is assaulted by a furious band formed by some ominous robbers, as his wife is attacked and college-age daughter reduced in living vegetable-alike . Then he embarks on his own mission for justice, stalking the slums of overloaded crimes , and taking the law into his own hands , searching vendetta on vicious murderers ,thieves , crooks , hoodlums , muggers , junkies , making the neighborhood safer and bumping off criminals , assailants and other street scum . Meanwhile , a couple of Chicago Police Inspectors (Dean Norris , Kimberly Elise) are investigating grisly killings . As the anonymous slayings of delinquents grabs the media's attention, the city wonders if this deadly revenger is a guardian angel...or a grim reaper . At the end , fury , retribution and fate collide between Kersey and his cruel enemies . They came for his family. Now he's coming for them. How Far Would You Go To Protect Your Family?.
This remake from the novel ¨Death wish¨written by Brian Garfield contains suspense , noisy action-packed , intrigue , thrills , shootouts , and loads of violence . Dealing with avenger Paul Kersey , burning for revenge, hunts for his family's assailants , as he decides to fight back against the rising tide of crime, one can't help but feel a sense of empowerment, making the film a whole lot of fun for armchair revengers , though, at times , it looks increasingly passsionless and mechanical . Outside of the moral questions that Death Wish throws up, the film packs a searingly brilliant turn from Bruce Willis as Kersey , he is a prestigious surgeon , while in Bronson version he was a N.Y architect , here Willis is a sedate hard working man reduced to being vigilante on account of a society that can't protect the honest . Some critics positively hate the picture , calling it irresponsible for advocating vigilantism , apparently it's a dirty picture calling on unlimited punishment to the criminals who stalk the cities across the globe . Bruce Willis with his usual stoic acting displays efficiently his weapon similar to ¨Charles Bronson's Death wish¨ and ¨Clint Eastwood's Harry the Dirty¨ and killing mercilessly nasties . It's certainly thrilling , though the morality may be questionable , even in this time, as the spectators were clearly on the Kersey-Willis' side . It is strangely compelling and taps into some fascist souls . Furthermore , here appears a nice secondary cast , such as : Elisabeth Shue , Camila Morrone , Dean Norris , Beau Knapp , Kimberly Elise , Kirby Bliss Blanton , and brief appearances from Len Cariou , Stephen McHattie , and Wendy Crewson as a pshichologist . It packs a screeching and thrilling musical score composed, orchestrated and performed by Ludwig Göransson . As well as atmospheric and evocative cinematography by Rogier Stoffers. The motion picture was professionally directed by Eli Roth , though with no originality . Roth is notorious actor/producer/writer/filmmaker , an expert on terror and violent movies who has directed the following one : Cabin Fever , Hostel 1 , Hostel 2 , Toc Toc and The Green Inferno.
The intense action-thriller novel written by Brian Garfield has got several renditions : the first , original and successful 1974 ¨Death Wish¨ by Michael Winner with Charles Bronson ,Hope Lange , Steven Keats , Jeff Goldblum, that's , of course , the best from the series that had various really violent sequels . This mid-70 film had great commercial hit , a box office success that producers attempted to repeat with he worst sequels in which Kersey goes on torturing robbers , all of them inferior and the violence could be deemed excessive, are sd follows : ¨Death wish II¨ by Michael Winner with Jill Ireland , Vincent Gardenia, Anthony Franciosa ; ¨Death wish III¨ by Winner with Ed Lauter , Martin Balsam and Deborah Raffin ; ¨Death Wish 4 : The crackdown¨(1987) with Kay Lenz directed by J.Lee Thompson and ¨Death Wish: The face of death¨(1994) with Leslie Anne Down directed by Allan Goldstein.
