Mr. Silva has that mean look as a baddie, would fit perfect as Paul Kersey not Bruce Willis |
No - Henry Silva would be all wrong in the part. Mind you, Bruce Willis is miscast as well
Paul Kersey is an 'everyman' who is forced into vigilantism. He should be someone you can pass in the street without feeling the need to cross the road to avoid him
Sam Peckinpah got it right when he cast Dustin Hoffman in 'Straw Dogs' - someone who is mild-mannered and nonthreatening who has to turn to violence when the circumstances dictate
