#64 Movie review: Death Wish

Watched death wish! See what we though. Warning spoilers! "Death Wish" is a 2018 action thriller directed by Eli Roth and starring Bruce Willis as Dr. Paul Kersey, a Chicago surgeon who turns into a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter is left in a coma following a home invasion. The movie has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some have praised the film for its intense action sequences and Willis' performance as the grieving father-turned-vigilante. Others have criticized the film for its lack of originality and shallow character development. One of the biggest criticisms of the film is its handling of the sensitive subject matter of gun violence. The movie has been accused of glorifying vigilantism and promoting the use of firearms as a solution to problems. Despite its flaws, "Death Wish" can be an entertaining action movie for viewers who enjoy fast-paced action and aren't looking for deep character development or a nuanced exploration of societal issues. However, it's important to approach the film with a critical eye and consider the potential impact of its messaging.
