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

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

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

This is nothing more than cinematic masturbation.

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

Espouses a vigilante spirit that is morally bankrupt.

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 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.

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