alexlincs 3rd Aug 2022		Rated 6/10 Death Wish V is undoubtedly the worst in the series, but it's also much better than many action films of the 90s. Charles Bronson returns as Paul Kersey for a paycheck. He looks considerably older than he did on the last Death Wish film and is nowhere near as sprightly; that said he still exudes the tough guy persona that made him so famous. The plot involves Bronson's girlfriend, fashion designer Olivia (the gorgeous Lesley-Anne Down) being threatened by Irish mobster and ex-husband Tommy O'Shea (Michael Parks). Unlike previous entries the violence is considerably toned down. It's also the first film in the Death Wish franchise to be re-classified as UK 15. There are no doubt some violent death scenes, but it is more in-line with 90s films like True Lies, Batman Returns and Darkman, in that it is more fantastical and more about the spectacle than the gore. This makes it worse for me; it's pretty much what separated it from films like Lethal Weapon in terms of action. There's no rape scenes in this one which is a good thing. Bronson is still bad ass in this. I thought Parks looked incredibly cool as the bad guy, but he feels a bit like a PG-rated pantomime baddie than a nasty piece of work like The Giggler or Nirvana. Overall it's a pretty solid popcorn action film and is recommended for fans of the series. Allan A. Goldstein has always been a mediocre B-Movie director, but this is one of his better films and the direction is really solid. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
