The new ‘Death Wish’ movie is sure to create a huge conversation on gun violence -- and it won't be pretty

A new iteration of the vigilante movie "Death Wish" opens on Friday, and hoo boy, is it going to explode like no other movie in recent memory.

The movie, starring Bruce Willis as Paul Kersey (a role that revived the long career of Charles Bronson back in the '70s), was set for release in November 2017, but was delayed until this Friday.

There was no way to know a mass shooting – one in which police and mental health authorities utterly failed to protect young students gunned down in a Florida school – would suddenly change the tone and tenor of the movie.

In the original, Paul Kersey is a mild-mannered architect, in love with his wonderful wife Joanna and their daughter Carol, living in Manhattan. One day, two hoodlums (one of whom is a very young Jeff Goldblum, starring in his very first movie) follow the women home from a grocery store. They beat Joanna to death and brutally rape Carol – leaving her in a catatonic state – in a scene considered very graphic for the day.
