Pure Revenge, 26 November 2005

Charles Bronson picks up where he left off in the famous "Death Wish"
movie of 1976, going after punks and eliminating them. The only
differences: he's moved from New York to Los Angeles and the violence
is more graphic.
Despite the B-movie feel to this (produced by the kings of the cheapo
movies of that era (70s and early 80s) : Golan/Globus, it still is very
enjoyable and satisfying - if revenge is your thing. Here, Bronson
revenges the death of his daughter. At least her death is quick and
bloodless, unlike the unpleasant rape-and-murder scene in the first
film.
Also, unlike the first film there is no need for a long setup. Bronson
gets back in his vigilante mode in a hurry here and never lets up. If
you want a short dose (an hour and a half) of action, this is your
movie. One of the gang members in here, by the way, is a young Laurence
Fishburne.
The negatives are (1) sub-par acting performances by Bronson and his
real-life wife, Jill Ireland; (2) some blatant credibility problems
with the story ( such as how Bronson could get across town all bloody
but never be noticed;) and (3) not exactly the most intelligent dialog!
Yet, this is still an appealing movie to our conditioned satisfaction
for instant revenge. So, if you've had a bad day and need a release of
your hostilities, this is a good remedy!
