Two weeks after 17 were shot to death at a Parkland, Fla., high school, Bruce Willis and Death Wish present Hollywood's best case for guns.
Hitting screens as a passionate national debate rages around the easy availability of assault-style weapons, director Eli Roth's controversial revenge drama lays out an emphatic fantasy response that's tailor-made for the NRA.

The wretched timing is slightly tempered by the fact that studio MGM had already delayed the film's release last fall (citing scheduling reasons) after a gunman opened fire at Las Vegas' Route 91 Harvest music festival, killing 58.
It's getting harder to find an appropriate time for a slick gun-love story like Death Wish, a remake of the 1974 vigilante film starring Charles Bronson (who kept the bullets flying for five installments).
