Wow I’ve seen huge difference between the public and reviewers , but 15 to 85 must be a record.

No kidding. Talk about hypocrisy. Reviewers single out this one for gun violence among the hundreds of films the last few years?

Yeah. I read an article about it and just figured it must have some strong political message of some sort.

Looks like it does, and exposes which side is in the majority. :)

Never heard that about the film makers changing

the way the author wrote it.Good for them.

Bernie Goetz was a folk hero back then too.Seems like it was

even worse back then the wailing of the libs.People

love watching bad guys get drilled.

If anyone cares, the original, Charles Bronson movie, is on sale now, from Vudu, for five dollars. Rental is even less!

ABC had the damned Oscars telecast on starting at NOON Pacific time. It was blocking anything & everything else. (However, I loved seeing Phil Mickelson sin the golf tournament). And I watched the NASCAR race from Las Vegas.

One of the side stations I get by antenna had a “Death Wish Marathon” on. One right after the other. That sure was more fun to watch for probably the 4th time each than to watch the Oscars.

The new Black Panther black hero movie is still breaking records in it’s 3rd week.

Someone posted here that there are more than 160 gun incidents in it....

So that is OK because they are all black?

More standards than a tired prostitute.

I’m told that Democrats hate it, so I will be seeing it tomorrow. If it’s good I may watch it twice.

I saw it Saturday. The theater was full. And the audience clapped and cheered when Willis got one of the bad guys.

As in the original Charles Bronson Death Wish in 1973 and its sequels, the viewers side with the protagonist and feel partnered with him in the "vigilante justice" being dispensed out to the bad guys.

I don't recall any politically correct scenes or liberal narratives being pushed or attempts to mask over the vigilante aspect. It played a little campy at times but so did Bronson's original.

Except for some concessions to more modern times, like the use of smart phones, the movie plays out pretty matter-of-factly, much like the original.

This movie won't be nominated for any awards, but it was entertaining and enjoyable. Ironically, somewhat of a feel-good movie because the bad guys are being "taken care of".

One of the white criminals in the original was played by Jeff Goldblum

Yes. In the credits he was listed as Freak #1.

Others in the cast listed as "uncredited" were Olympia Dukakis as a cop at the precinct and Tom Hayden as an E.R. doctor. Yes. That Tom Hayden.

Charles Bronson as Kersey was an architect who got his gun on a trip to Arizona.

How does Bruce Willis as a Dr. Kersey get his gun in Chicago?

That’s funny, libs said the very same things when the original Death Wish came out in 1974. Some things never change.

Rotten Tomatoes Critics 15% — Audience Score 85%. The disparity is real.

Squishy swishy lib critics panned it, what an endorsement!
