An American action thriller; This fifth installment in the Death Wish film series edges more towards slasher than crime thriller. Architect and former vigilante Paul Kersey battles mobsters as he tries to protect his girlfriend from her mob boss ex-husband, whose daughter is under her care. Charles Bronson cuts a tired figure this time round. Trademark sadistic violence and revenge meted out on cartoonish mob villains runs to a predictable conclusion and no danger of plot twists. Yet, it is competently directed, and Michael Parks raises it a notch with his naturalism style of acting.
