MGM Pictures released the first trailer for its remake of the 1974 vigilante classic Death Wish on Thursday, featuring Bruce Willis taking over the lead role — but some critics and commentators have already branded the unreleased film “racist,” “alt-right,” and “nakedly fascist” over the short clip’s content.
Willis stars as Paul Kersey, a surgeon on a brutal quest for revenge after his wife is murdered and his daughter is raped (Charles Bronson’s Kersey was an architect in the original five-film series).
The remake also trades out the original film’s gritty New York City environment for contemporary Chicago.
The trailer for the Eli Roth-directed film plays like most revenge films, promising plenty of gunfighting and shots of star Willis looking tough. In a twist on the original character, Willis’ Dr. Kersey wears a hoodie, an item of clothing associated in recent years with the Black Lives Matter movement.
The trailer for the film came under fire on social media shortly after its release Thursday, with at least one critic contending that the original series was “always racist.”

Heh.
Hope it bring the dough. “Back In Black”....one of my faves.
Be sure to wear a hoodie to the movie.
That song fit the trailer very well.
One example of a melting snowflake:
“These just are not good days for movies about white vigilantes using lethal violence to clean up the streets. In a f***ing hoodie.”

Uh. The trailer has 100x more white criminals than reality.
I liked the trailer. What is wrong with me? I guess I am not a transgender SJW.
me too
Takes place in Chicago !!!
Wonder how many white thugs they have to have Willis ice to make to try and appease the left
there is no need for a remake. original still stands. #bronsonmatters

The snowflake melting on this review is also precious.
No they do not. They shout anti fascist while they attack others, shut down free speech, and riot, and all because they do not want a different view being stated in public.
“No. I can hardly stand it anymore. Can we give them a part of the US, and then cut that part off with a Milwaukee saw?”
Sounds good to me. Give them a state nobody is using like North Dakota or Connecticut
Just as I figured
I can confirm they don’t know what fascist is, otherwise, they wouldn’t act like fascists themselves.
Until then, check out Michael Caine in Harry Brown (2009).
Bet the press will ask Trump for his opinion on the movie
Any sequels about going after corrupt politicians and/or journalists?
“They wore racist out, now their using fascist.”
Perhaps the next frontier will be “fracist”
