This is how everyone that jerks off to the second amendment thinks they’re going to be
Gloom filled 70’s vigilante grime classic from Michael Winner—who turns wintertime nyc into a urban vengeance three quarter coat western loaded with great camera work, sleazy urchin infested streets, questionable politics, a weirdo score that I really dig, and Charles Bronson adding to his monolithic status as conscientious objector Paul Kersey—the architect of death.Love this sicko movie with its dirty bleak 70’s vibes as well as Winner’s tight (and undervalued) direction, and Bronson’s 20 year dedication to the role of judge, jury, and executioner in a franchise that gets wilder with each entry.The third movie might be my favorite, but this is essential 70’s bullshit and that final shot is incredible.
How did this movie launch a franchise??Charles Bronson is occasionally fun on screen but doesn’t do well with emotional scenes. I have liked him in supporting roles so I was hoping he could do more to anchor a movie, but let me down in this case.I found the directing quite good, the whole movie felt gritty and scary. I was impressed by the tone this movie strikes, and the scary neighborhood it created. The politics of this movie were very distasteful in my opinion. I try to give a star rating based on the quality of the film and not my moral objections, but it was hard to separate in this case. He is shooting to kill anyone committing petty crime and becomes a folk hero for it. This isn’t Batman trying to save people, he’s literally shooting them to kill, often chasing them down after to make sure they’re dead. I was waiting for the Taxi Driver morality question of whether what he was doing was right or wrong but we seem to be celebrating his behavior. This movie could have been legendary if his actions were called into question.We also take a 15 minute business trip with him to Tucson that has nothing to do with the central plot. You get to see him plan a housing development. Why?ALSO JEFF GOLDBLUM CAMEO!!
After his wife is murdered and daughter raped by street thugs, a pacifistic New York architect transforms into a vigilante who hunts criminals in the city.
The film was directed by Michael Winner, a British filmmaker known for his gritty crime and thriller works during the 1970s.
The film is historically polarizing for its depiction of vigilantism and its perceived endorsement of extrajudicial violence as a solution to urban crime.
