In Death Wish we get just about the definitive Bronson; rarely has a leading role contained fewer words or more violence.

Death Wish is so cannily fabricated that it sometimes succeeds in arousing the most primitive kind of anger. Yet it's a despicable movie, one that raises complex questions in order to offer bigoted, frivolous, oversimplified answers.
