A tired remake that, aside from a few intense action scenes, really doesn't elicit any kind of emotion. Bruce Willis, as this point, is just going through the motions.

And to be honest, this remake of “Death Wish” wasn’t so bad. It’s not possible for me to compare this movie with the series of films from the 70s and 80s with the legendary Charles Bronson, because I just can’t remember ever having seen one of them. Maybe Bruce Willis is a kind of icon in Hollywood. But compared to Charles Bronson, he’s just a teeny, tiny …
