Death Wish (2018)

Awards
- 4 nominations

Trivia
Eli Roth spent a lot of time with Chicago detectives to get the details of the police district (station) correct. In the film in the corner of an open murder case board appears a card that says "We're gonna need a bigger board," a reference to the famous Jaws (1975) line "You're gonna need a bigger boat." This was something Roth actually saw on a board in the police captain's office.

Goofs
Kersey doesn't wear gloves and leaves fingerprints all over. The cops never dust for prints.

Quotes
[from trailer]
Punk Leader: Who are you?
Paul Kersey: Your last customer.

Crazy credits
When the title is shown on screen, it is faded away by the image of "flatlining" on a medical monitor. This effect is used in the closing credits as well.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make reductions to a scene of torture in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

First of all, don't be surprised by the low score on Rotten Tomatoes and other sides. Most of these so-called "movie critics" are just anti-gun advocates pushing their agenda under the guise of a movie review.

This is a well directed remake of a vigilante movie from the 70s starring Charles Bronson. The director Elit Roth strikes the right chord by setting this simple but powerful story in modern day Chicago. The tone and message remain largely the same which I consider a big plus because it's a sign of respect to the original.

This is an above average r-rated action movie with decent performances, nice cinematography, good pacing and a fitting soundtrack. If you like Bruce Willis or the original "Death Wish" go check it out. Don't be scared off by negative reviews.
