This controversial, 1974 drama exploits urban paranoia and presents vigilantism as cathartic release. But it is also a captivating, Everyman-ish story of a New Yorker who goes through a sea change after crime depletes his family, and who runs afoul of the law while taking it into his own hands. Charles Bronson stars as the vengeance-seeking urban warrior who goes on a punk-killing spree after his wife and daughter are attacked by intruders. Director Michael Winner (The Wicked Lady) shamelessly builds upon audience identification with Bronson's rage, but he also makes an interesting story out of the latter's tug-of-war with disapproving police. It's an unpleasant film all around, but not nearly as bad as its horrifying, numerous sequels. Watch for a very young Jeff Goldblum--in this, his second movie--as one of the assailants of Bronson's loved ones. --Tom Keogh

Death Wish (1974) needs no introduction, as almost everyone will
have heard of the film, and sequels it generated.
Starring Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey and the lovely Hope Lange as
Joanna Kersey, and Vincent Gardenia as the saavy, wisest, most
powerful police officer or commissioner who thinks fast on his feed
(also seen in "The Big Racket ") it packs a powerful presence, as
much as its release date over 30 years ago, mainly from the
perception ... Read More

An early scene has Paul Kersy standing in his living room, swinging a sock full of quarters to ever mounting glee, a scene intentionally reminiscent of the bone brandishing ape-man in 2001 Space Odyssey. In the last scene of the movie, a freeze frame, (having declared early on the modern fixation with firearms a penile substitute), has Kersy making the "gun" sign in front of a fetching lass's business section, his manhood reclaimed. This movie isn't about revenge as it is an initiation of a pacifist, ... Read More

I'd seen bits and pieces of this over the years, but never the whole thing straight through until now. Charles Bronson is Paul Kersey, a successful New York architect in a happy marriage, with a son and daughter-in-law. Right away the film telegraphs its POV about violence, when one of Kersey's coworkers calls him a knee-jerk liberal and, knowing it's a Bronson film, we can see that an awakening is about to happen.
For those who don't know the story, I'll make it brief. Kersey's wife and ... Read More

DEATH WISH is a film that you ALWAYS want to watch--it's entertaining and even engrossing and has the great title. I guess many of us have at one time or another wanted to be Paul Kersey--getting rid of urban thugs & slugs with impunity and getting away with it [minus the personal tragedy Kersey incurs, of course!]. All about an architect whose wife and daughter are brutalized by a gang of thugs--wife is killed, daughter left a vegetable. Justice is slow a'coming so Mr Kersey decides to vacuum clean the ...

If you're a fan of urban adventure..., the worst of the bad guys doing horrible things to innocent people..., cops unable to stop them..., and a vigilante stepping in to save us all, BUY THIS MOVIE! Don't look for an Oscar winning performance, just a lot of action, and a lot of fun. You'll find yourself pulling it out on a winter afternoon, and enjoying it over and over.
