Crime fighting to the extreme in Death Wish

Action icon Bruce Willis becomes mortal grim reaper in Death Wish as his character’s life is shattered when his wife was killed and left his daughter in a coma during a robbery attempt in their home.

In Death Wish, Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) has it all: A beautiful family, a lovely home and an exciting and meaningful career as a surgeon in the emergency room of a bustling hospital.

But when Kersey’s wife Lucy (Elisabeth Shue) is killed during a robbery attempt at their home and his daughter Jordan (Camila Morrone) is left in a coma after fighting back against the attackers, he enters a world he never planned for.

Emotionally shut down, Kersey leans on his brother Frank (Vincent D’Onofrio) for help, and on Detectives Raines and Jackson (Dean Norris and Kimberly Elise) for any updates on the arrests of the men who did this to his family.

As the police show Kersey a wall of unsolved cases and become resigned to the fact that his case will also go unsolved, something clicks in Kersey, a man who, as his brother Frank reminds him, used to be known for fighting back in the tough neighborhood they grew up in.

Walking into a local gun shop, Kersey decides to arm himself.

But his role in the world is saving lives, not taking them.

No matter who is wheeled into his emergency room, to Kersey, they’re all patients in need of attention.

How could he seek justice on such harsh terms?

Yet as Kersey ventures into the night, he finds innocent people being preyed upon.

When he foils a violent carjacking and a bystander’s cellphone footage of it goes viral, the media gives this unknown guardian angel a dark nickname: "The Grim Reaper."

As Paul Kersey gets closer to Knox (Beau Knapp) – the criminal who killed his wife – the city, unaware of this mysterious justiceseeker’s motives, wonders how it will end.

Updated from the original novel by Brian Garfield, director Eli Roth and screenwriter Joe Carnahan’s (The Grey, Narc) Death Wish also stars Vincent D’Onofrio (The Magnificent Seven, TV’s Daredevil and Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), Camila Morrone, Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Kimberly Elise (The Great Debaters).

It’s a knife’s-edge portrayal that challenges our assumptions, and pushes our buttons.

By bringing the complex psychology of Brian Garfield’s book up-to-the-moment and injecting new thrills and a stark, unflinching look at the American psyche in 2018, Eli Roth and Death Wish bring audiences to the height of unforgettable suspense.

"Before I had kids, [being a father] wasn’t a part of these action films I do,” says Willis.

"Now, it’s a major component.

"This film really makes you think about how far you will go to protect your family.

"After his own family is brutalized, Paul Kersey has zero tolerance for any bad guy to harm another innocent person.

"And we show the audience the underlying reasons why he does what he does.”

A full non-stop action thriller, “Death Wish” opens March 1 in cinemas nationwide from OctoArts Films International.
