‘Death Wish’ is the 2018 film directed by Eli Roth , based on Shepards 1974’s film ‘Death Wish’ The story of Dr.Paul Kersey ,played by Bruce Willis is the protagonist of the movie revolving around the theme of moral ambiguity of vigilantism. A respected trauma surgeon whose life spirals out of control after his wife and daughter are attacked and nearly killed by three home invaders, Kersey become a vengeful killer that causes the viewer to evaluate his philosophy of justice.
Kersey’s experience is treated with passion and the main character himself is shown as a tormented man with a desire for revenge. Besides, its realistic theme, good camera work, the build up of tension thro’ its music track depicts certainly the risks involved in living in a jungle, city in this case, and the harsh reality of the cost one pays for being a criminal.
Nevertheless, witnessed lustrous action stereo typicality and law enforcement simplification underwent disregard the profoundness of the story. In my view,”Death Wish” serves as a film that explores themes, like sorrow and the idea of taking justice into ones hands. Through its narrative it challenges viewers to rethink their perspectives on righteousness and individual retribution.
