Solid if morally suspect revenge thriller.

A morbid little revenge thriller...

The movie has an eerie kind of fascination, even though its message is scary.
February 25, 2006
A compulsively watchable bit of '70s nostalgia, a curious counterpart to Dirty Harry and an icon of New York-brand justice.

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

There's an undeniable thrill when Bronson blows away some sleazy mugger.
January 26, 2006
Winner's recourse to caricature when dealing with police and thugs, and his virtually overt sympathies with the confused, violent Bronson, make for uncritical, simplistic viewing.
June 30, 2008
The violence is excessive and the plot predictable, although there is some style to director Winner's approach.

It's a despicable movie, one that raises complex questions in order to offer bigoted, frivolous, oversimplified answers.

Stylish exploitation vigilante thriller.

Poisonous incitement to do-it-yourself law enforcement is the vulgar exploitation hook on which Death Wish is awkwardly hung.
