Again, this is how I'm going to review this movie. I will be basing it on a 5-star (
☆) system on these 8 categories. Action, Suspense, Comedy, Drama, Scare Factor, Romance, Adult Content, & Overall Score.

So, let's get started...

Action: 
☆☆☆
There some action in this movie.

Suspense:  
☆☆☆
There was some suspense in this movie.

Comedy: 
There was no comical scenes in this movie.

Drama: 
☆☆☆
There was some drama in this movie.

Scare Factor:
☆
There was maybe some scary scenes in this movie.

Romance: 
There was no romance in this movie.

Adult Content: 
☆☆☆☆
There was quite a bit of adult content in this movie. This is based on language & violence gore, but there was no nudity in this movie.

Overall Score: 
☆☆☆
This was a good movie overall. For those who don’t know, this movie is a remake based on the Death Wish movies from the 70’s. I never really watched the older movies, so I’m not sure how close this movie follows the older ones. But this movie does have suspense & action that does follow a story. They did leave it wide open for a sequel or 2 though. I’m not sure if we’ll be getting this movie when it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray.

End Credits: There was no clips in or after the credits.
