DEATH WISH movie |
Bruce Willis. Several of us had seen the original "Death Wish" movie back in 1974, which starred Charles Bronson. At that time Charles Bronson was considered one of the top action movie actors. There were many changes to the plot of the movie such as in 1974 Bronson was an architect in his movie, while this time around Bruce plays a doctor.

The internet provided this overview of the current movie:
Dr. Paul Kersey is a surgeon who often sees the consequences of the city's violence in the emergency room. When home intruders brutally attack his wife and young daughter, Kersey becomes obsessed with delivering vigilante justice to the perpetrators. As the anonymous slayings grab the media's attention, the public begins to wonder if the deadly avenger is a guardian angel -- or the Grim Reaper itself.

This was an good action flick with one good guy trying to track down all the bad guys that tortured his family. And guess who wins...well, of course Bruce does - with a little help from You Tube videos! Dean Norris, who plays the detective, is such a wonderful "character" actor. He has been in numerous movies and television shows. Dean can play the good guy and the bad guy really good. There is a funny scene with him trying to eat something that is suppose to be healthy for him and how he reacts to trying to eat the health bar was very funny! Been there...and yuck!
The Travelling Toe gives this movie 2 second toes up with your very own hoodie so you can prowl out in the dark night!!
