Parting Shots Movie Review 1998

Harry's feeling like a bunch of folks have done him wrong--from his ex-wife to his thieving best buddy to the local chef--so once he learns he's only got six weeks to live, he aims to settle the score...with a gun. "Death Wish" director Winner shoots for edgy humor but misses.
