Death Wish Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie has an eerie kind of fascination, even though its message is scary.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's a despicable movie, one that raises complex questions in order to offer bigoted, frivolous, oversimplified answers.
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
Sexual violence, cursing in strongly pro-vigilante drama.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Stylish exploitation vigilante thriller.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
A compulsively watchable bit of '70s nostalgia, a curious counterpart to Dirty Harry and an icon of New York-brand justice.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
One of the finest revenge flicks ever made.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Somewhat enjoyable right-wing revenge flick.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Solid if morally suspect revenge thriller.
Newsweek
Maureen Orth
Director Michael Winner, an Englishman, has created a simplistic urban Western of good guys and bad guys that will conform to every paranoid's crime fantasies.
Los Angeles Free Press
Dick Lochte
Oddly enough, the film is the first in quite a while to give Bronson a chance to actually act and he is very up to the task.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A morbid little revenge thriller...
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Nixonite gorge-riser
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
There's an undeniable thrill when Bronson blows away some sleazy mugger.
LYTRules.com
Luke Y. Thompson
We know Bronson can be a tough guy, but not so much the mild-mannered guy; he seems to be trying to split the difference the whole time
Austin Chronicle
The movie that sealed Bronson's reputation as a tough guy.
Variety
Poisonous incitement to do-it-yourself law enforcement is the vulgar exploitation hook on which Death Wish is awkwardly hung.
TV Guide
The violence is excessive and the plot predictable, although there is some style to director Winner's approach.
