Death Wish


2018 remake

Rating: 6/20

Plot: A surgeon gets himself a new penis and becomes a hooded vigilante as he hunts down the people responsible for the death of his wife.

An ode to manly gun use, this NRA wet dream ends up much duller than it should be. Bruce Willis sleepwalks his way through this. The storytelling is stupid, and both its violent action sequences and attempts to invoke genuine emotion are corny. One scene in a garage was so unnecessarily gruesome that this movie almost became the first movie I ever walked out on. It's not because I'm squeamish either.

I'm surprised I've never walked out on a movie actually.
