What happens

Death Wish is a 2018 American vigilante action-thriller film directed by Eli Roth, written by Joe Carnahan, and produced by Roger Birnbaum. A remake of the 1974 film and the sixth installment in the Death Wish film series. It stars Bruce Willis as Dr. Paul Kersey, a Chicago-based surgeon who sets out to exact vengeance on the culprits responsible for attacking his family. Vincent D'Onofrio, Elisabeth Shue, Dean Norris and Kimberly Elise appear in supporting roles. Death Wish was released in North America by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on March 2, 2018. The film was grossed $55.9 million worldwide against a $30 million budget. The film received negative reviews from critics, who took issue with its depiction of gun violence in light of then-recent mass shootings and alleged that it spread right-wing and pro-gun messages, although the action sequences and Willis performance were praised.
