I just watched Death Wish the other day and it just didn't hold up as well as i thought it would.
I think you can get away with one big coincidence per script, or a couple of small contrivances, and yet this guy (Bronson) gets mugged within three minutes every time he leaves his house, while the NYC crime rate is plummeting, no less.
And I used up all my suspention of disbelief at the beginning trying to accept Jeff Goldblum as a heavy.
Having said that, I don't really understand Catrins point with this thread. I mean, I understand what he's saying, but so what? You're trying to enlighten us, or just convince us that we're all idiots? Go write anyway you want, and enjoy the process, but don't start name-calling just because no one wants to read your stuff.
