Bruce Willis is starring as the vigilante that Charles Bronson made famous in the 70s. And already there is a massive backlash to the trailer on social media. Not because it's a remake (which is more than enough reason to bash it). No...they're bashing it because they claim that it is alt-right propaganda.

Vincent Canby said as much of the original. This is hardly surprising, it was always a controversial series.

Well made trailer...AC/DC was the perfect choice for the background music.

I thought the remake sounded dumb until I heard an ELI Roth interview the other day. He was pretty fired up about the movie so I'll likely check it out

I saw some SJW bitch say that Death Wish was "always about racism" or some bullshite along those lines. Every last villain in the original series was white

That changed the tone of the trailer in a hurry.

More reason to see it.

I'm not an SJW by any means. But the second half of the trailer really took me out of it. It went from a really gritty philosophical piece with action to a sudden revenge shoot-em-up without any thought behind it.

That said, I think the movie will be more like the first half of the trailer. I loved the therapist bit at the end. Maybe they cut it this way for the free buzz it would create.

I like Bruce Willis and remember Elizabeth Shue from Cocktail, the trailer looks good. I will view it as separate from Bronson.

That looks horrible, and Eli Roth is horrible, but it looks like most of the crooks are white, so the SJW's can suck it.

You had a potential Oscar-winning film with maybe the best script in Hollywood but because you're a coward and a dumb count you now have an untested, second-time director and an arrogant, lazy, aging action star that will run that poor kid into the ground. Good luck, a-hole. You're a spineless, gutless turd who doesn't belong in the business. Enjoy your run as a 'studio head,' Glickman. It's going to be a short one. frick you.

What is it with aging male actors and revenge flicks? Sean Penn, Denzel Washington, Kevin Bacon, Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson and now Bruce Willis.

Eli Roth movies suck and Bruce Willis has given lazy arse performances for at least 10 years now.

This will be a weak sauce attempt to cash in on the series name and the success of movies like Taken and John Wick.
