Poor attempt to match the original Death Wish. Hard to follow and implausible.

Horrible reflection of the great original movie

Born in the patch, lived in oil company housing as a young boy in extreme rural TX areas, worked my way through college in the patch and returned to the E&P (exploration and production) arena in my early 50’s, until retirement. Not a realistic presentation of the patch. Yes, there are unsafe occupations in the field but most oil companies outsource this work to vendors and they are measured (hired) by their safety records. So, unsafe operators are quickly weeded out of the patch. All the death scenes shown, are impossible in the real world. My dad worked 28 years for El Paso Natural Gas. Of which, years in Odessa plant shown in the opening scenes. He took me to work many nights when he worked midnight schedule. He hurt his back, just from trying to lift more than he should. Was moved immediately to a desk for the next >20 years. Off time injuries a frowned upon greatly. Did have a close family friend die in a pipeline incident. Was poisoned by gas fumes, but again. He broke all the rules, went into a hole, where sour gas was evident, without a required mask, alone. Do stupid things get horrible outcomes. I worked on a drilling rig for 4 years (summers) when going to university. Torn a small tendon in my left hand, (tongs, drilling floor) recovered, without surgery. A small piece of metal came across the floor and hit me on the top of my foot/boot. Again, didn’t require surgery, did go to emergency room for xray. Paid more in 90 days than a full time job at school. Loved it, was a much better solution than student loans.

Not bad, but certainly would not add this film to the top ten. It violated Bond basics. May satisfy the woke community but lost me a Bond loving fool. Craig had so much potential after his first outing, but went downhill from there. Not sure how you come back from; Killing 007, Converting him into a loving husband, family man and father, Replacing him with a black female who will be one big girl soon and will quickly require replacement. Why not finish the trifecta and have him join the LGBT community since you killed Bond?
