To some, Bruce Willis is finally playing the character that they have been waiting for him to portray. Paul Kersey, the titular character in the classic movie series Death Wish is back, with a shaven head and more of a grin than you last saw the character in Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. When that film came out in 1987 it was a creaky franchise that had countless puns about its aging character. The year after that a little film called Die Hard came out that changed the landscape of action films. The sneak preview is Wednesday, February 28 in Atlanta at Atlantic Station. The giveaway ends Tuesday, February 27 at 9 PM. We’ll email the tickets to the winners that night. To enter just leave a comment on this post or on the YouTube video.
It was also about that time of year that the vengeance sub-genre of films faded away. Clint Eastwood owned that genre for years and the Paul Kersey character is indeed Dirty Harry’s kindred, non-law enforcement kindred spirit. When you see Death Wish you will see lots of violence, bad guys getting their cumupins and several well placed puns.
Death Wish is back with Eli Roth taking control of the camera and Chicago acting as the template for Willis to enact revenge. This film is rated R for bloody violence and language. The sneak preview for Death Wish in Atlanta is Wednesday, February 28 and we’re giving away three pairs of passes.
