Review of Death Wish (2018) by Davidwashere — 25 Mar 2018
The fact that certain critics are taking this movie seriously to talk about how this movie was released in bad timing is an insult to the issues about gun reform. This movie is too boring to be taken seriously.
It tries to be this trashy B-movie action flick and trying to talk about vigilantism and PTSD seriously, but instead it is a dull, by-the-numbers action film with no real thrills and any attempts at trying to tackle PTSD is barely mentioned (only one scene and it only goes on for less than one minutes) and you can get better and more interesting movies that tackle vigilantism.
It's just a slog to sit through, not helped by the bland direction Eli Roth gives. The only remotely enjoyable thing about the film is how Bruce Willis is clearly foaming it in. If you think about his what his eternal thoughts are during filming and why he never emotes at all, it is quite fun.
