Death Wish Ratings & Reviews

It’s not like it’s painful to sit through but that doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. Eli Roth doesn’t keep anything consistent. The moviegenre changes from drama, comedy, action movie and it just doesn’t add up. You have characters your suppose to care about get tortured and murdered, followed by a bunch of cheesy jokes that take you out of it. Not to mention the way over the top Eli Roth violence when it comes to taking out bad guys. The motivation for Bruce Willis to take the law in his own hands was unintentionally funny. Willis’s performance was another typical one of his. Nothing special at all. What I hated the most was the radio Djs talking about the “grim reaper” and that comic book style montage. The few action scenes here were decent enough but no reason to view this movie.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The street violence is staged with such disgusting levity that any attempt at thematic complexity seems purely for show.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The new Death Wish is unlikely to spark similar controversy, simply because the filmmaking is not as compelling as in the original film. Most probably, it will fade from the screen as forgettably as its enervated lead performance by Bruce Willis.

Chris Stuckmann
There's not a single memorable action scene. It's a mish mash of tones filled with wooden performances, a very boring lead character and no clear cut villain.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Death Wish" is a catechism for an audience terrified that their firepower and their influence are dwindling.
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
In that limited sense, "Death Wish" is a success, albeit one that action fans should wait to see on Netflix.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The film cranks up the audience with little jokes and references, and gets the audience cheering for the Grim Reaper before they even realize what they're cheering for -- and therein lies the problem.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
He's not remaking Death Wish. He's making what he thinks a person in 1974, sitting in a Forty-Deuce grindhouse theater, would have seen in their mind while watching it ...
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
As in the Bronson series, the new Death Wish is devoid of nuance, feigning "debate" (via talk radio sound bites) while depicting everything in figurative, and often literal, black and white terms.

Vigilante dad rock.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
By most metrics, this Death Wish is a better movie than the first one.
NPR
Glen Weldon
It asks nothing, and offers only the blanket assertion that feelings of masculine inadequacy - "The most important thing a man can do is protect his family, and I failed," Willis declaims - can be obviated ballistically.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Again and again, Death Wish feels anything but real.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Willis, who was once a formidable action star, is performing "Die Hard With an Ambien" as he exhibits zero emotion and mutters under his breath like an accountant who's upset with his boss.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
It's very obvious that Roth doesn't really care about the film's political baggage - he just wants an excuse to have Bruce Willis shoot battery acid into a guy's sciatic nerve and watch the blood.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
There was a rawness in the original, with the brutality of the attack on the hero's family being shockingly graphic. In the remake, the edges have all been smoothed off.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's the absolute wrong movie at the absolute wrong time.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
To criticize Death Wish for its indelicate timing would be to suggest that there might ever be an appropriate moment to see it.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
The film, much like Willis' performance, never flatlines, but it never delivers the thrills you expect from this type of genre piece.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
At a time when Americans are constantly bombarded with reports of unpunished police brutality, the film suggests that the true problem with justice in our country is that law enforcement isn't violent enough.
