A 74 year old and puffy-faced Charles Bronson made his theatrical exit in DW 5, a movie that is so bad that it is hard to classify it as a movie. This time around, Paul Kersey is engaged to a woman (the very dull Lesley-Anne Down)) whose business is being threatened by a mobster (the seemingly perpetually stoned Michael Parks). Only after Parks badly hurts one of her employees, kills a second one and then kills her does Kersey decide to limp into action. By then, two-thirds of the movie has expired and I felt like I had expired as well. Kersey's first kill is not by gun but by poison. What the hell is this? Kersey poisons someone? Anyhow, I was just happy to see Bronsons still working, but watching him and this movie was painful beyond belief. A must-avoid.
