Bruce is back and kicking ass in this take no prisoners, Hard - R remake of the classic Charles Bronson movie "Death Wish". Admittedly right off the bat I will say this movie is not as good as the original. However, it still is a decent throwback vigilante action movie to the 70's/80's exploitation era. Fans of Bruce will enjoy seeing him dispose of plenty of bad guys. It's his best film in years and perhaps his most violent action movie to date. Eli Roth sure doesn't skimp on the blood & gore in this one, let's just say people in the theater were even wincing at some of the bad guy deaths. He handles the action nicely, practical effects with little CGI & ol' school shootouts the way Bronson handled things. Don't listen to the whiny, Liberal critics who always look for something to be offended by. It may not have lived up to it's potential and does have it's flaws. Overall, it's still an entertaining, straight forward action movie that you can turn your brain off, watch on a late night with some junk food and enjoy.
