Death Wish

Synopsis

Death Wish Full Hd Movie: In DEATH WISH, surgeon Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) has an idyllic life with his loving wife, Lucy (Elisabeth Shue), and their adolescent daughter, Jordan (Camila Morrone), who has recently been admitted to college. However, violence is common in Chicago, and when a corrupt valet parker records the family’s location, three masked guys smash into their home. Paul isn’t home, but the ladies fight back, killing Lucy and putting Jordan in a coma.

Paul waits for police investigators Jackson (Kimberly Elise) and Raines (Dean Norris) to uncover clues, but they never do. Following his wife’s burial, he is motivated to take up a rifle and go out at night. He murders two carjackers and finds the experience rewarding. So he becomes a hoodie-wearing vigilante and eventually discovers a clue that leads to his wife’s murderers. But one remains unfastened…

Director Eli Roth’s version of the 1974 Charles Bronson film (both based on Brian Garfields’ book) is not only terrible, but also very stupid, with a boorish, simpleminded logic. The Bronson version was problematic, but it worked, and that was the 1970s. We now live in a very different era, and the whole concept is callous and dumb.

Although this Death Wish raises certain issues with vigilante violence. Its main goal is to win our sympathy for its “hero” and hope he escapes punishment. Perhaps worse, Roth’s career of extreme violence and torture, including another exploitation remake, The Green Inferno, suggests that he was more interested in blood splatters than serious ideas.

“Must-See Flick”

The movie begins clumsily, demonstrating how cozy and lovely life is in the Kersey house. Which apparently heightens the “shock” when things go wrong. The fact that Kersey is now a surgeon instead of an architect (as in the original) is also incomprehensible. A man who has vowed to protect life shouldn’t be so readily tempted to commit murder.

In certain instances, he’s as quick as a streetwise action hero, but in others, he’s embarrassingly inept and irresponsible. Willis can’t help but portray him with a sheepish expression much of the time. And Beau Knapp is just terrible as a sneering, crafty murderer.

It’s an unwanted film whatsoever, but the debate between “taking the law into your own hands” and “letting the ineffectual police do nothing” is insulting in an era when the focus has shifted to more serious issues.
