This gut punch of a remake will drive SJWs crazy. That's just one of many reasons to see Eli Roth's latest.
You won’t see a more subversive film all year than Eli Roth’s “Death Wish.”
How can a remake of the 1974 vigilante classic be so bold? It’s simple. The remake doesn’t tinker with the vigilante formula beyond concessions to our digital age. No hand wringing, no attempts to bring social justice to the classic tale.
The very last word you’d use to describe the new “Death Wish” is “woke.”
The film goes much further, though. It gives a long, wet raspberry to the scourge that is political correctness. Take away the ideological dustups, and you’re left with a premium crowd pleaser with a kiss of ’80s action thrown in.

I had to look up the name because you called him Bernie, I had mispelled Bernard should be Bernhard. Anyway, I read one of the victims died exactly 37yrs to the day, after serving time for rape and robbery. Sad he lived through the first shooting.
That should be 27yrs to the day.
To those who have seen this film, could you please post a review here? Thank you. What I want to know is, will I as a person who enjoyed the original Death Wish films, feel satisfied as the ending credits roll?>Apparently you'll have to ask for forgiveness after hearing the word Jesus 7 times (someone actually kept score).
Hearing the name Jesus reduced to a profanity is more like it. It’s easy to get sick of when even cartoons do it.
Bronson was tough.
