Death Wish 3 [Blu-ray] on Blu-ray


Michael Winner ups the ante once again in Death Wish 3. Any pretense of Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) having a career in architecture is completely gone. Kersey's new career appears to be as a professional vigilante, blowing away muggers, rapists and thieves off the mean streets -- or as he terms it "thinning the herd." Back in New York City, Kersey, with his usual luck, arrives just in time to find an old friend dying after a vicious beating by a multi-cultural gang of thugs. The cops arrest Kersey, but it just so happens that police chief Richard S. Shriker (Ed Lauter) is like Kersey with a badge: "I'm the law, and that means I get to violate your civil rights." He makes a deal with Kersey: he can go free as long as he keeps the cops informed of his death counts. Kersey grunts in agreement and proceeds to move into a decaying tenement building in the middle of a bombed out gang war zone. The building is populated by a group of elderly tenants who are terrified by the neighborhood gang warfare. Kersey declares his own personal war on the neighborhood gang, led by a frenzied leader named Fraker (Gavan O'Herilhy), who wears a reverse Mohawk hair-style. As Kersey devises booby traps and trip-wire bombs to confound the gang, the senior citizens gleefully take pot shots at the wounded gang members from their windows. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Editorial Reviews

Charles Bronson made many outrageous action vehicles during his Cannon Films era, but this may be the most bizarre of the bunch. Death Wish 3 dispenses without any pretense toward believability in characterization, plotting, or dialogue as it once again puts the character of Paul Kersey through his urban-vigilante paces. The only new wrinkle comes with a plot thread in which the police chief (played in amusingly broad style by Ed Lauter) gives Kersey his under-the-table approval to go out there and start bumping off thugs for his police department and even that turns out to be a quickly dropped throwaway notion. On the plus side, the film does offer a decent supporting cast, which also includes Deborah Raffin and Martin Balsam, and director Michael Winner gives the proceedings a professional look and pace; however, the film's mechanical nature and absurd plotting make it impossible for the viewer to get invested in the story, especially when Kersey and his enemies turn the neighborhood into an urban war zone during an absurdly over-the-top finale. In short, the utter ludicrousness of Death Wish 3 may amuse bad-movie buffs but is likely to baffle anyone expecting a quality film. ~ Donald Guarisco, Rovi
