REVIEW SUMMARY
"2018's Death Wish is a hollow action film that, at times, is a fun watch. The movie completely wastes most of the cast's talents as it's a borderline crime that Vincent D’Onofrio wasn't given more to do than be the "dopy brother." However, Bruce Willis does a bang up job (pun intended) and is as easy to root for as ever. It all adds up to a mindless and mediocre vigilante flick, but sometimes that is exactly what the doctor ordered."
