Death Wish

In the 2018 action thriller 'Death Wish', directed by Eli Roth and starring Bruce Willis, a mild-mannered surgeon, Dr. Paul Kersey, seeks revenge after his wife is brutally attacked and his daughter is left in a coma during a home invasion. Frustrated by the slow progress of the police investigation, Kersey takes matters into his own hands and transforms into a vigilante avenger, hunting down criminals on the streets of Chicago. As his violent actions gain attention and notoriety, Kersey grapples with the moral implications of his vigilantism and the line between justice and vengeance.

Despite having a strong leading man like Bruce Willis, 'Death Wish' failed to impress most critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a dismal 18% rating, with critics highlighting the lack of innovation and depth in the story. IMDb users rated the movie at 6.3/10, indicating a mediocre reception from the general audience. Metacritic echoed similar sentiments with a low score of 31/100, stating that the film failed to add anything substantial to the revenge thriller genre. While some viewers appreciated the suspense and action sequences, the overall consensus was that 'Death Wish' fell short of making a lasting impact in the crowded action movie landscape.
