Death Wish (2018)

Death Wish is essentially a 107 minute commercial for the NRA staring Bruce Willis. The casting is what the movie got right, if your going to remark the 1974 Charles Bronson classic there is really no reason to do so if you don't cast Willis in the lead. The update changes Paul Kersey from a New York architect to a Chicago doctor, but the plot is basically the same, a good man is driven to vigilantism when the police fail to prevent the murder of his wife and severe injury of his daughter. I had expected director Eli Roth to make this movie crazier, but its actually pretty conventional. Movie contains multiple appearances by Mancow Muller, to make it relevant I guess? **
