Not as bad as you would think

What a massive and regretful shame and lost it was that our good old beloved screen legend Charles Bronson passed away last august. Suddenly it meant that a great and talented actor and certainly one of the toughest and coolest action flick stars ever was gone forever and it also killed all the hope to ever get the final sixth episode in the "Death wish" saga. I know it was extremely unlike dream but right until I heard the sad and shocking news somehow part of me was always hoping for him to still make a return to the shoes of Paul Kersey for the very last time. At least the minor possibility was there. Unfortunately this was one of the last films of his respectably long career. Bronson was aged and tired but his acting was nevertheless still enjoyable. If I only look at "Death Wish V: The Face of Death" as an individual action movie it's definitely pretty senseless, simple, ordinary and cheesy. But that would be a mistake. The only proper way to see this film is to consider it as the fifth part of the famous motion picture series and at least when I personally watch it with this in mind I can only admit: in the end it's far from being all that bad.
