"Willis and his director faced an uphill battle to make their lead character anything less than reprehensible; if that’s their only achievement, it’s a significant if questionable one..." Read the full review here: http://screen-space.squarespace.com/reviews/2018/3/6/death-wish.html

When Hollywood starts regurgitating old Charles Bronson Films that we’re ico in their day. Then cast the washed-up Bruce Willis , you gotta know that Hollywood is totally bereft of any original ideas. I mean what producer actually signed off on this piece of Shite? It is an insult to any moviegoer and should be liable for incurred costs on wasting a patrons valuable time and money. Simply Abysmal.

"It's not as good as the original" he said, shocking absolutely no one. It's alright though. I don't think that I'll watch this Bruce Willis version ever again, but I actually didn't hate my experience here. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
