Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Jul 28, 2026 There are glaring plot holes but Michael Douglas and Yaphet Kotto are excellent in this compelling Vigilante movie. Ten times better than the original Death Wish and very well directed by Peter Hyams. There are some intense scenes and good action also.

See more Bill B @RT01438538 Mar 24, 2024 Rather extreme and unbelievable story about legal technicalities. Holbrook plays his character far too smug, but Douglas is OK. All the real action is at the end and makes the movie worth the $5. See more Jack O @RT29143273 Jun 19, 2023 I'm not a fan of Peter Hyams as a director because his directing is pretty poor. I actually found this movie forgettable even though this is a declining film I found myself enjoying the chase scenes and that is the highlight of the entire movie itself. Michael Douglas plays a judge who decides who's guilty or not guilty and decides that all cases of people who commited crimes will be dismissed or not. The only case in this is the child who got murdered and Dr. Lewin is the father of the child wants him to put two men Monk and Cooms guilty. I never really got into this and I think it's kinda dry and I'm sure if people heard of it or not, I guess the director of this is really bland.

Great film. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 Sep 25, 2022 I thought this is another watchable court/crime film, however, the plot sidetracked in last 15 min and broke up. I was confused and almost laughed. Bad but still enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
