Review of Death Wish (1974) by Scott G — 02 Aug 2011
A wonderful film for Charles bronson, certainly a product of the crime ridden newyork of the 70s(this came out in 1974) here Bronson playing a vigilante aimlessly going around newyork using him as a target and when muggers strike, shooting them stone cold, but with the nypd on the unknown vigilantes case, his time could be up.
this film works very well, and overall, the badness of newyork in the 70s produced great cinema. with its high crime rate and police coruption, see also, serpico, the french connection, the warriors and my favourite film of all time, Taxi driver.
death wish which im only now seeing in 2011(not sure why) can hold its head highly. im sure sequels are not as good. but judgeing by this I want to see more.
