The new Eli Roth directed Death Wish get's a 3 star review in the Mail on Sunday.

Now a three star review is nothing special you may say and you're right...

...However this is the Mail we are talking about, not exactly Mr Roth's biggest fan in the past, so a three star review is akin to Oscar material elsewhere.

It's part of the link below but i've cut and paste the short review so you don't have to visit the ad filled page yourself.

Despite at times looking more like an ad for the National Rifle Association or Donald Trump’s idea of the perfect date-night movie, Eli Roth’s remake of the film that made Michael Winner famous still has to go down as a guilty pleasure.
Yes, Death Wish is politically incorrect and yes, it’s difficult to believe that a highly skilled surgeon would turn murderous vigilante quite so readily, even if his wife had been killed by trigger-happy burglars.
But, hey, it’s got Bruce Willis shooting a lot of bad guys – what’s not to like? That said, in this era of the ubiquitous satnav, it will definitely make you think twice about valet parking.
