Death Wish is a solid throwback, that unfortunately doesn't delve deep enough into the criminal element.
I was surprised to see Eli Roth directed this film, as this isn't his usual thing. The film doesn't have anything new to offer in the genre, except maybe the social media and radio talk show, which are both negatives. These things nothing more than filler, everybody loves a vigilante taking out scum, it's a stupid question. Action's the film's greatest strength and it thrives in that area, along with Willis's presence, showing he's still capable of commanding the screen. The ending's rather underwhelming though, lacking magnitude or any memorable takeaway.
