We know Bronson can be a tough guy, but not so much the mild-mannered guy; he seems to be trying to split the difference the whole time
January 26, 2006
Winner's recourse to caricature when dealing with police and thugs, and his virtually overt sympathies with the confused, violent Bronson, make for uncritical, simplistic viewing.
June 24, 2010
A morbid little revenge thriller...
June 30, 2008
The violence is excessive and the plot predictable, although there is some style to director Winner's approach.

Nixonite gorge-riser
March 01, 2007
Poisonous incitement to do-it-yourself law enforcement is the vulgar exploitation hook on which Death Wish is awkwardly hung.
May 09, 2005
It's a despicable movie, one that raises complex questions in order to offer bigoted, frivolous, oversimplified answers.
March 27, 2009
There's an undeniable thrill when Bronson blows away some sleazy mugger.
July 19, 2004
Solid if morally suspect revenge thriller.
February 07, 2011
Stylish exploitation vigilante thriller.
February 25, 2006
A compulsively watchable bit of '70s nostalgia, a curious counterpart to Dirty Harry and an icon of New York-brand justice.
October 23, 2004
The movie has an eerie kind of fascination, even though its message is scary.
