Movie Info

Michael Winner ups the ante once again in Death Wish 3. Any pretense of Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) having a career in architecture is completely gone. Kersey's new career appears to be as a professional vigilante, blowing away muggers, rapists and thieves off the mean streets -- or as he terms it "thinning the herd." Back in New York City, Kersey, with his usual luck, arrives just in time to find an old friend dying after a vicious beating by a multi-cultural gang of thugs. The cops arrest

R, 1 hr. 40 min.

Preposterously Rambo-esque.

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

There is not a moment of credibility in the movie and the ending is sheer chaos, and anticlimactic at that. Mr. Winner runs out of imagination before Mr. Bronson runs out of ammunition.

The action, direction and special effects are all better than the last time around, which isn't saying much.

Top Critic

The direction is lackluster, and the film is padded with a number of useless scenes.

Hasn't Bronson's vigilante shooter done enough? Evidently not.

This is nothing more than cinematic masturbation.

Time Out

The weakest and least credible entry in the a series that's more enjoyable than most would admit.

Fantastica Daily

Espouses a vigilante spirit that is morally bankrupt.

The final, sorry rattle of Charles Bronson's career.

Gone is the social conscience. Lots more gore though.

In short, this movie could be recommended only to the most fanatical Charles Bronson fans or for the people who are already desperate for 1980s nostalgia.

I tend to watch everything what my friend recommend to me. No matter what Genre what Country or what languages, I can even live with subtitles. lolTrouble is when I watch Movies with subtitles I feel like a looney tune.
