What critics say influenced Death Wish
This was smart on Stallone’s part because it would have echoed the Judge Dredd fiasco he starred in years ago.
Roth delivers the exact Hostel -squeamish Death Wish his historical career promised – which, in large part, is also the issue given how Death Wish somehow boasts less subtlety than Troy Duffy’s The Boondock Saints .
The gore and occasional zoom shots (the first Roth’s innovation, the second an homage to the original) and deliberately dingy lighting make you feel like you’re watching a grindhouse homage like the trailer Roth directed between Death Proof and Planet Terror .
Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer had its share of violence, but he was able to accomplish it without cartoonish deaths.
