We saw Assassin, the very last film by Bruce Willis… and it’s hard

The vigilante robs the dealers (1987)

The series A vigilante in the city has five films with Charles Bronson as a vigilante: after a gloomy, violent and urban first film, the series will become a completely crazy action franchise where Bronson exterminates hordes of thugs using an incredible arsenal. Of all the sequels, the best is the fourth film, The Vigilante robs the dealers (The Crackdown in VO): a super effective action film, terribly 80’s, directed by veteran J. Lee Thompson (The Cannons of Navarone) and produced by Cannon foufous Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. Yes, those of Delta Force and of Missing.

Narc (2002)

The scenario of Death Wish was originally written by Joe Carnahan, director of The All Risks Agency and of Wolf Territory : it was revealed by Narca tough, dark and icy thriller about the confrontation between two borderline cops in Detroit. THE Death Wish of 2018, set in the concrete jungle of the New York suburbs, has its roots in the cold darkness of Narc.

The Gunslinger (2011)

A vigilante in the city of 1974 was therefore signed Michael Winner, who directed several other films with Charles Bronson, including two in 1972: the violent western The Hills of Terror And The Gunslinger where Bronson plays a methodical hitman. Its elegant remake, shot by the efficient Simon West (Wings of Hell) in 2011 with Jason Statham, is the perfect model of Death Wish of 2018.

Looper (2012)

Brilliant and unexpected sci-fi film about time travel where Rian Johnson lets all his creativity explode: Looper is also a great fast-paced action film, and it’s the first time we’ve seen Bruce Willis so heavily cast in a role in a film in the 21st century. Good news, the next time is in Death Wish…

Equalizer (2014)

Denzel Washington as a nocturnal vigilante, priest of death and lover of literature… The cinema version of the famous TV series is a powerful actioner which shows what the figure of the vigilante looks like these days: a fatally tragic and tormented being who cannot allow himself to be violent without consequences. The same message as Death Wish 2018, basically.
