Death Wish 2018 Review

[Ugly Hombre]

Saw it tonight good film, 4 out of 5 stars for me- no PC baloney and Bruce did a great job.

Seemed to be pro self defense to the hilt!

Action packed- lots of fire fights.

Of course the leftist movie critics are giving it bad reviews. lol

No men in tights- SJW comic book baloney at all.

Uses criminal New Democrat ruled Chicago as a back drop.

Recomended!

This is one movie I've been looking forward to seeing. Probably will wait for video but still want to see it.

I haven't seen it yet and want to see it, but I did read about one part of the movie that likely is not to our best purposes. I understand that it shows him buying a firearm and asking about a background investigation, and the person selling the gun implies it is a joke that everyone passes. We already have many people believing all sorts of nonsense about buying guns, including the myth of buying online without any background checks, that no background checks are done if you buy a gun at a gunshow, and that it is easy to just walk into a gun store and buy a fully automatic weapon. But maybe it doesn't matter if the film contains some inaccurate information since the liberals would not likely go to see this movie under any circumstances.

There's no sense kidding ourselves about certain things that are not myths but fact.

A gun located on an online site can be bought face-to-face via two individuals of the same state with no background check. The myth implication is that the gun can be located and actually purchased online and sent to the buyer via USPS or other delivery service with no face-to-face or common state residence required . . . not true.

Same situation at gun shows. Individual purchases of personally-owned guns can be done without background check between two same-state residents (unless prohibited by local ordinance or some such). Any gun purchased from a dealer will require a background check.

I have no idea about the movie scene, but if the transaction is shown involving a dealer, yes, it's a bad representation. But we do ourselves no favors if we play the semantics game regarding the requirement for background checks under certain circumstances. That's the way the left plays it . . . and they're good at it.

Nicely said. Taking it a step further, we only hurt our cause by knowing obfuscations -- rrr, lies -- as they undermine our presentations of facts.

WARNING: if you are sensitive to being told any part of a movie, STOP HERE!!!


I watched the movie on Friday night. Trying to figure out how to say a couple of things with out giving away anything.
1. When he looks into buying a gun he is told everything including FOIDS and that it takes some time and they are honest about it.
2. When he goes in to actually buy a gun, there is no indication of how much time passes between that and the time he picks it up could be over a couple of months but it's not referred to.
3. Somehow he ends up with a full-auto rifle that in no way would probably happen in Chicago in our life time.
4. The gun he uses to go on his war on crime drops out of a BG's pocket while he was on the table due to gun shot wounds and Kersey recognizes his watch on the guys hand. It falls to the floor and he kicks it under the table.
There are lots of different things going on but in an hour and 45 minute movie, it's virtually impossible to explain everything.
5. I'm old enough to remember the original series of movies when Kersey was an architect and not a emergency room surgeon.
6. There is another part that is a suspend reality type of deal that just wouldn't happen in real life. Hey, it's a MOVIE!!! IMO Bruce Willis is not the actor that Charles Bronson was.
7. I went to see if with a guy friend, but if my wife wants to go see it I don't have a problem going again. I suspect if you saw the original you will struggle more than if you didn't see the original movie. Go and enjoy it for what it is. Back in the day, the word was the producers were trying to encourage people to take care of themselves considering the crime infested streets back then. It's only gotten worse. IMO

One of the biggest problems with today's movies is the total lack or originality. Death Wish has been done. And done well. Go find another story to tell.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I was in the grip making business, I had a customer send me a package with what I thought was his grip frame. I thought the package was a little heavy. He sent it USP Priority Mail. I got it home and opened it and sure enough, he sent me the whole gun.

Well, I was a little panicky at that point because I had already opened the package. But I put it back in the same box and took it back to the post office and returned it to him. To tell the truth I was really sweating bullets (pardon the pun) there for a couple days. Finally I got an email from him saying that he received the gun.

I did not put new grips on it when I sent it back to him. I figured that if that package was discovered to hold a gun, at least I sent it back to him without profiting on a pair of grips and maybe they would go easy on me. To end the story, he did send it back to me, but only the grip frame this time and he was happy with his grips.

That was when I added something to my website about sending me a grip frame for grips. I added a picture of just a grip frame with the caption "This is what you send to me" and a picture of a gun with the caption "This is not what you send to me".

That's the last and only time that happened to me.

 

[gasbag]

That's odd.
I thought John Wick already killed everyone.
When an actor was asked what his main acting skills were he replied,
"Well, I can kill people on screen and look mean while doing it."

 

[ProfessorWes]

From all I've heard, the liberal film critics also didn't like the Charles Bronson original, for all the same reasons as they hate the remake.

I'm just hoping they toned down the murder of Kersey's family in the remake; I've never been able to watch that part of the original film because holy crap that's effin' SICK.

And Jeff Goldblum has given me the creeps ever since I realized he was one of the original Death Wish's gang of rapist/killers. (His first role, I think, and what a way to start off a Hollywood career. Eek. :shock: )

You are close, but your first sentence (2nd paragraph) is not quite correct. A face to face transaction, of personal firearms, no matter where the sale is done, with no background check, between persons who reside in the same state can be done ONLY if the state allows it. In PA you can do this kind of transaction ONLY with long guns. In PA, ALL handgun transactions, be they FTF transactions between PA residents, or bought from an online source or from the gunshop inventory, must be done at a PA FFL with a background check accomplished before the handgun can be transferred (but there are 5 exceptions to that law and all concern children, parents, grandparents and spouses). Many other states have this type of law also, and many states do not have this law, so blanket statements really shouldn't be made. There are 50 states and all have different gun laws.

As for the BATFE, they allow residents from the same state to do any type of transfer they want (other than NFA firearms) ONLY if state/local laws allow the transfer.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

I alluded to that exception in my third paragraph, but thanks for the clarification. It always pays to know one's local regulations.

Yep quite true there were a lot of things in the film that were Wut? how did that happen??? like the full auto AR.

But overall I liked it and thought it was more on our side- than against it.

I liked how he got his first gun and thought he should have got all of them that way.

I don't like remakes in general- but, I wanted to see it, and.. when I saw the Prog/Commie leftist media critics savage it in reviews I knew I would see it, and that there was a darn good chance it would be good.

It was.

I am damn tired of comic book movies don't watch them and wanted to see a good shoot um up. Non PC as possible.

I got my moneys worth.

 

[Sturgis270]

Plan on seeing it tomorrow(Tuesday), supposed to be crappy weather and local theater has $5 movies on Tuesdays. Also the better half won't go to some shows.

 

[44Alaskan]

If anyone is interested in watching Bronson's Death Wish 2 for free it is available on http://www.Pluto.tv app. Works on Roku, Amazon Fire, Laptops, iOS and Android. 100 channels of TV plus movies, I highly recommend.

Not in Oregon anymore.... against the law now to bypass sales that don't go through an FFL/dealer.

 

[David LaPell]

Liberals hate it, so it must be good. Remember, the Best Picture Award just went to a film where a woman had sex with a fish monster. I think it's called Grinding Nemo, or Sex, Lies and Tartar Sauce or something like that.
