Death
Wish was a surprisingly well made and extremely entertaining action thriller.
This movie is about Dr. Kersey, a trauma surgeon, who moonlights as a vigilante
after an attack on his family. For the first time in years Bruce Willis gives a
great performance. He plays the quiet
aspects of his character well while snapping when required. Vincent D’Onofrio
gives a good performance playing Willis’s brother. Elizabeth Shue and Camila
Morrone give strong performances in smaller roles as Willis’ wife and daughter.
Dean Norris and Kimberly Elise are fine in smaller rol,es but they do not have
a ton to do. Eli Roth who is known for extremely graphic violence holds back
for most of the movie however, he eventually lets loose. This movie is filled
with quite a few brutal kills from all sides. Joe Carnahan’s script is great
and filled with the right amount of character development and humor. At 107
minutes the movie moves along at a good pace setting up Willis’ character
before he lets loose. Overall, Death Wish was a big surprise and a ton of fun
from start to finish.
8.5/10
