Death Wish 3

Death Wish 3 is still another in this year's long parade of pathetic power fantasies, cynically exploiting the rage and anxiety of the dispossessed.

Preposterously Rambo-esque.

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

This is nothing more than cinematic masturbation.

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.

…the mark of a terrible film is that, even on a third or fourth viewing, there are layers of awfulness to be discovered, and by these rules, Death Wish 3 is a very rich text indeed….the third, consistently turgid outing for taciturn vigilante Paul Kersey.

...a decent-enough sequel that ultimately feels more in line with the Rambo series than with the previous two films.

I mean, come on, we didn't need a "Death Wish II," but thank Wildey there's a "Death Wish 3."

Overblown and unrealistic yet ultimately cathartic and exciting, Death Wish 3 is still an entertaining ride.
