Review of Death Wish (1974) by Zach M — 24 Jul 2010
One of my favorite movies by one of my favorite directors Michael Winner w/ one of my favorite actors Charles Bronson. Bronson's vigilante justice is something I cheer. You can't count on the police; sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
After his daughter's ass is spray painted red by some punks & Jeff Goldblum forces her to perform oral sex & his wife is beaten to death Bronson takes to the New York streets & shoots some creeps.
.I guess those 'creeps' are from part 3. I like all the Death Wish movies even though the sequels have a more exploitative nature to them. I don't even mind part 5 even though it's the least of the series.
You can't take them seriously but the first one is landmark even though it leaves the question open is justice really served since Bronson never kills those directly responsible for attacking his family.
..Keep your eye out for Lawrence 'Boom Boom' Hilton-Jacobs & Christopher Guest.
