Death
Wish 2/10
Full of spoilers. I just
watched Death Wish aka Social Commentary The Movie on Amazon.
This...was not good. I have watched the original films and wondered
how they would begin to handle this in a modern world. In the
previous film there is so much shit Charles Bronson was able to get
away with because there were only like three cameras in the country.
Everything else was filmed in potatoes. In this movie instead of
being this liberal, never shot a gun, architect we have Bruce Willis
as a tough guy surgeon. One night after he gets called to work these
three guys break in and murder his wife and almost kill his daughter.
The valet took a photo of their address from their car navigation so
that's another thing the world needs to worry about. In the original
(YES I WILL KEEP BRINGING IT UP!) his wife gets raped and murdered
his daughter gets raped and mentally leaves the planet before killing
herself. In this one the daughter is in a coma and her dad Paul
Kersey is looking for revenge.
Kersey
finds out how to load, clean, and handle guns because of the
internet. Media is reporting on him after he turns a carjacking into
a murdering spree. Some cheer him. Some do not. But mostly they do.
In this original he did not know who attacked his family. In this one
Kersey starts off wanting to find the guys responsible and ends up
becoming a vigilante killing anyone committing crime. Anyone! He ends
up finding the guys responsible for ruining his life because the
police in this movie are as worthless as they were in the original.
This movie had super graphic violence. A wack story. What was
supposed to be amusing just wasn't. The music was okay though. I just
did not give a damn. It moved way too fast and nothing felt dangerous
as silly as that sounds in a movie with this story and that title.
This really didn't need to be made.
