Death Wish Ratings & Reviews
- Paul WalshFebruary 3, 2026The movie is an okay vigilante movie. I do not find it to be a classic as it is simply too dumb of a movie to give it classic status.
- SaibianGutsApril 25, 2025It's quite good and enjoyable.
- Aecio LemosJanuary 15, 2025This is a classic and I enjoy rewatching it every few years. However, for today's standards, the production value is low and the musical score is not the best, but it is well worth a watch. Charles Bronson is one of my all time heroes of the screen.
