Synopsis: Death Wish (1974)

Synopis: Charles Bronson stars in a genre-defining vigilante thriller that made him a household name. A fatal sexual assault on his wife and daughter leads mild-mannered architect Paul Kersey (Bronson) to rethink the justice system in his own terms when he discovers the police to be ineffectual, bureaucratic slackers. He then starts to single-handedly reduce New York's crime rate by murdering every thug, scumbag, and no goodnik he lays eyes on. The film, despite its use of graphic violence as entertainment, was hailed as a socially complex and engaging movie that shocked audiences across the country. Subsequently, Bronson filmed a long series of films as Kersey that were heavier on violence than substance. However, DEATH WISH is a classic American film whose themes and style have been imitated by filmmakers all over the world.

   Gritty realistic violent drama is excellent because it doesn't go into an over the top action sell out, it remains a suspenseful and clever film about one man's need for revenge. SEE IT!!

   0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Death Wish review helpful Senseless violence with poor acting. I have to credit this one as being the best and progressively worse with each silly, mindless sequel.
