Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of his city’s violence as it’s 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 for his family’s assailants to deliver justice. As the anonymous slayings of criminals grabs the media’s attention, the city wonders if this deadly avenger is a guardian angel…or a grim reaper. Fury and fate collide in the intense action-thriller Death Wish. This is an old-school revenge flick with gratuitous violence. Nothing more, nothing less. By no means does it deserve the horrible reviews; most of them are down to politics. Rating a movie badly due to something as “timing” does not make sense to me.

While I would not call it a must-see, it’s definitely worth a 100 or so minutes on Netflix or whatever. Do watch it if you’re a Bruce Willis fan.
