"Death Wish" is back....

[MaxxVolume]

The 2017 remake has Bruce Willis inheriting the Paul Kersey role....

 

[luke85]

from watching the trailer it looks like an action/comedy........theres no comedy in death wish, plus eli roth isn't a great director, give me the original any day

 

[Pio1980]

I saw Deaf Wish without my hearing aids and didn't get much of the dialogue, a total waste of time.

 

[soundmotor]

Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have an original idea anymore? I like Bruce Willis but he's no Charles Bronson. The original Death Wish is the archetype of an anti-hero film.

Why don't they use Bronson in the role?

because he's dead ?

They can't even be creative in casting. If it were me I would have cast Jeff Goldblum as the hero. A beer to who can tell me why.

 

[luke85]

if it were me i would cast Tom Hardy, the movie would be dark/gritty

Jeez... if that movie gets any darker I'll need a flashlight to watch it. The only thing I never bought was Bronson acting like a pussy at the beginning of the movie.

He was a milquetoast brought to violent response by events. He snapped and unleashed his inner sociopath in other words. He's most definitely not a hero or badass.

While we're talking Bronson, Hard Times. Perhaps one of the best Great Depression films made.

Plus, he's already played Charlie Bronson -

The Mechanic is definitely one of his top 5 films. Tempted to add The Stone Killer but it's been a long time since I saw it to be sure.

Watch the first 20 or so minutes. He's got the whole "I'm going to kill you with whatever I find in the room" look from the get-go, but his trepidation at confronting the street is more like the milquetoast architecht (civil engineer?) and I would have liked to see a little more of a visual transition into "****ing Charles ****ing Bronson". I'm picking nits though... Death Wish is the mother of all modern revenge/action movies.

Heh, that's just how he looked man...

House of Wax, 1953 -

Dirty Dozen, 1968 -

HA! That's so true.
