But Why?
Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of Chicago violence when it is rushed into his ER – until his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are viciously attacked in their suburban home. With the police overloaded with crimes, Paul, burning for revenge, hunts his family’s assailants to deliver justice.

Fury and fate collide in the intense, action-thriller.

Death Wish Movie Reviews
A movie glorifying gun violence wouldn’t have come out at the wrong time. With gun control debates headlining all the talk shows across networks, the release could have been pushed a month for its own good. However, it is not just the topic of the movie that is holding it down. Bruce Willis, on the other hand is loved by the audiences, although critics don’t give the movie the same appreciation. Here’s what they have to say,
“And Death Wish, as undeniably effective as it is on a primal gut level, should have probably stayed where it belonged. In the past. ” ~ Chirs Nashwaty, EW
“Morally unconflicted about its self-taught shooter, “Death Wish” promotes a vision of a city whose streets run red and whose residents run scared.” ~ Jeanette Catsouls, New York Times
“What should be shocking is banal – which, in turn, feels sickening for feeling so banal.” ~ Amy Nicholson, The Guardian
