WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Dr. Paul Kersey (Willis) is burning for retribution when his wife (Shue) and teenage daughter (Morrone) are visciously attacked in their home. He sets out on his own crusade of justice, to find and hunt down the assailants at any cost…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Bruce Willis is (hopefully) back on good form as he takes on the role that Charles Bronson made famous in the original Death Wish movie from 1974, which is remade here thanks to the unusual combination of writer Joe Carnahan and director Eli Roth.
