If you still remember Charles Bronson's 1974 'Death Wish,' and liked it, SEE THIS. 35 years later, street punks, junkies, and ne'er do wells are hassling the responsible contributing members of society and killing the most innocent and defenseless...only this time it is on the other side of the pond. Same background turmoil as well when the innocent approach the police only to get something far less than an effective response. Therefore, the vigilante must rise and bring on the swift retribution we all dig!
Michael Caine rocks (as he does in all of his films) as the avenger of his best friend's murder. The smacketh he layeth upon the perps and scum is...well, delicious! I don't know what it is about Caine, but he is in so many movies and in each, he tweaks himself just a hair and comes up with pretty unique characters each time. Good deal, good deal! Direction, cinematography, and acting with a decent script are all good.
