WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

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.
