It can be hard but when watching a film like this you have to try and separate yourself from this modern effort and the original films just like i did when i watch The Equalizer and it worked then but can it work this time around.
Death Wish is pretty entertaining and nowhere near as bad as i expected. Some of the scenarios are pretty stupid but when it comes to the action and kills there is no messing around he is just straight in and kicking ass or blowing heads off and mutilating people in a various ways. Bruce Willis is pretty hit and miss throughout sometimes i noticed he would be almost laughing through a serious scene and a few times when something major would happen it just felt brushed under the carpet and the film just moved on too fast from it often taking you out of the tension or emotional impact of the scene. Not a bad way to pass 2 hours.
