What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Jamal-Dean Grootboom  Willis the walking dead in an elitist 'Wish' remake. | 5 |  |
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky Who actually wanted this Death Wish remake? | 5 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy I have no idea if this offering will gain enough traction in today's climate to resurrect Willis' star (please don't let there be another Death Wish 2, More Deadly Wishes and The Deadliest Wish), but it never should have seen the light of day, let alone a projector. | 4 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Death Wish is little more than a rote retelling that lacks the grit and conviction of the original -- and also suffers from spectacularly bad timing. | 3 | |

| CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey M. Anderson Pointless, thoughtless, extremely violent vigilante remake. | 2 | |
