Synopsis
Not all vigilantes wear capes. Sometimes they’re just angry men on a mission to find the criminals that viciously attacked their wives and daughters. Bruce Willis stars as Dr. Paul Kersey, a Chicago surgeon who spends his days saving lives, until one fateful night a home invasion gone wrong leaves his family in tatters. When the cops fail to find the assailants, Kersey sets aside his oaths, takes up a gun and stalks the streets, doling out his own brand of bloody justice. As the body count rises on his quest for revenge, the media takes notice - and Paul finds himself becoming something of a local hero in the process. Eli Roth directs this visceral update of the 1974 Charles Bronson original, which in turn was based on a novel by Brian Garfield. The film also stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Elisabeth Shue, Mike Epps, and Dean Norris.

2018 is turning out to be a truly inclusive year for on-screen representation. “Black Panther” invited African-American audiences to see themselves in a massive superhero movie that wasn’t about their own oppression, “A Fantastic Woman” gave transgender women the chance to…
davidehrlichMar 2, 2018Bruce Willis awakens from his acting coma and actually acts as Dr Paul Kersey in Eli Roth’s remake of the Michael Winner / Charles Bronson revenge classic. Chicago has a high as a kite murder rate, and that’s not fake news. Chicago is the perfect setting for the…
Todd GainesFeb 28, 2018Intermittently amusing thanks to Roth's penchant for gore gags, but otherwise this is pretty bland even for a piece of shameless tin-eared violence porn. Michael Winner would never have made anything so tame.

Eli Roth, half vile prankster, half dead-on sociologist. Even the fact that this is uncertain about how far it is willing to go on pulp/responsible scale will help it age as well as the Hostel movies did.
Filipe FurtadoJan 28, 2019What's maddening to think about while watching Death Wish (2018) is someone like Philando Castile who owned a legally registered firearm and who followed police instructions and who was shot to death by the cops in his own vehicle while breaking no law. I thought about that…

nathaxnne [goodbye <3]Mar 3, 2019Didn’t know how I felt about this at the half hour mark... and then the stiff serious nature flipped when the gun commercial happened that included the firearm furniture thing and I realized I was 100% in an Eli Roth movie. Way more layered than many (but not all) of these…

I've been thinking a lot lately about Bruce Willis. since the announcement that he's retired from acting due to aphasia, I've been thinking about the last few years of his career. the exploitation that he's experienced has really depressed me since first reading about it…
Logan KennyMar 8, 2018This film was the epitome of shitty pacing and terrible acting but Eli Roths use of violence, gore and humour will always leave me wanting to watch his next film.
Buddy OMar 2, 2018Wenn Selbstjustiz und militante Selbstbefriedigung sich die Klinke in die Hand geben, dann hat mal wieder irgendwer die ollen Rachekamellen aus den 70ern exhumiert und versucht sich in der Ära Trump an unverhohlen plumper Tötungspropaganda für empörte Wutbürger. Das…

- MCLevecq likedDeath Wish
Typical every-man-vigilante action thriller with nothing that really stands out. Set in Chicago and it is almost hammed up to the level of a PSA of how dangerous it is. However, I will never not love that cold gritty stare Willis gives before he blasts the bad guy. Entertaining.
Cody lovedDeath WishI remember seeing this trailer years ago and thinking it’s just my style and I finally found the movie. A detail I want to highlight is that same with Breaking Bad they use color to tell the story. As Paul descends into evil he starts wearing black hoods instead of grey. 10/10
Max lovedDeath WishBruce Willis Filme sind eigentlich immer stark und so war auch dieser hier. Packender Thriller, der einen auf den Füßen hält. Gute Action und ein klassischer Bruce mit all in all guten Acting der ganzen Crew. Gebe mir den save nochmal. 4,3/5⭐️ (Prime Video) zusammen geschaut
- Monitz lovedDeath Wish
Another movie with Bruce Willis as the main character. So this movie is brutal but let me say it differently: There are movies with the same story (father wants revenge) that are more brutal. But it is absolutely worth watching it. ✌🏼
louisa cc lovedDeath Wishwar mal wieder ein sehr nicer action film. angenehm brutal nicht zu viel oder zu wenig und gut aufgebaut mit logischer gut geschauspielerter story. ich mag den main character und das ende gefällt mir auch. 4⭐️
Tyler Mazzola likedDeath WishI actually enjoyed this movie, i thought it was serious and the acting was well. It was like “law-abiding citizen” except for it wasnt as gory and dark. Portrays a superhero without all the tackiness.
- David Heidke likedDeath Wish
I think it was a good homage to the Bronson movies. Bruce Willis portrayed Paul Kersey in a very different way than he has for many other of his characters (which all seem to be John McLane)
Ivory Uk. lovedDeath WishAt the end of the day, it's just another generic revenge flick but I'd be lying if I said I didn't at least enjoy this especially the last bit when he finally killed Knox.
Mikey is "meh" onDeath WishWatched it last night. Couldn’t oversee the parallels to Unbreakable. Just different story, but he also played the good and had a hoodie on to cover

Metacritic
Mar 1, 2018
Directed by Eli Roth with the same knowing smirk that has informed his previous exercises in self-satisfied bloodletting (Cabin Fever, The Green Inferno, the Hostel movies), the movie is a slick, straightforward revenge thriller as well as a sham provocation, pandering shamelessly to the viewer's bloodlust while trying to pass as self-aware satire. Your time, to say nothing of your outrage, is much better spent elsewhere.

At a time when Americans are constantly bombarded with reports of unpunished police brutality, the film suggests that the true problem with justice in our country is that law enforcement isn't violent enough.

Eli Roth and screenwriter Joe Carnahan could have done the same thing, manifesting the rages and fears that afflict the country we live in right now. Instead they offer a cheap and dishonest Death Wish that (references to social media notwithstanding) is interchangeable with get-tough knockoffs that have flooded cinemas for decades.
