But there is something quietly discomfiting about Willis wielding a gun in Eli Roth’s remake of the 1974 Charles Bronson revenge thriller Death Wish. Perhaps it’s the remarkably unsubtle way that Roth portrays a man dealing with grief after his wife was killed and his daughter rendered comatose by home invaders, producing a trigger-happy thriller about the glories of vigilantism....

‘The Oath’ Red Band Trailer: Thanksgiving Drama Turns Violent With Tiffany Haddish And Ike Barinholtz By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 20, 2018 1:30 pm EST Ike Barinholtz makes his directorial debut with The Oath, a dark political comedy that hits a little too close to home. The premise itself is a little outrageous: a Thanksgiving dinner, typically the setting for some tense family stand-offs, turns violent when politics come into the fray. But the reason for this escalation of one of the worst family gatherings of the year is a controversial White House policy that honestly could be enacted in the real world....
