BRONSON'S LAST THEATER APPEARANCE
Review date: 2008-07-10 Rating: 8 out of 10
DEATH WISH 5 - THE FACE OF DEATH is a really good action-thriller (better than part 4!) and a descent ending to my favorite movie series of all time. The story is pretty much the same as usual. Bronson's girlfriend, Olivia Regent is attacked and killed by mobster Tommy O'Shea (a brilliant performance by Michael Parks, by the way). That's enough for Bronson to turn vigilante.
Good directing by Allan Goldstein, this movie is surprisingly suspenseful! Also they way Kersey takes out some of the mobsters is quite interesting and made me smile more than once with cool puns all the way. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED and unfortunately the last Bronson film made for the big screen. Bronson is (was) in top form - although well over 70!

One more Death Wish too many

Bronson was a superb actor, and very underrated in my opinion - but this was definately one too many for the series. He looked uncomfortable and unsure in this movie and his age showed, and Death Wish should have been left at the trilogy level. DW4 was mediocre, but this one soon became tedious to watch. Sorry Charles, only 2 stars for this one, and that's being 1 star too generous really.
ENOUGH PLEASE

How the heck did we reach number five. Charles Bronson has killed more people than i can count. Has nobody clocked him yet. I almost felt sorry for muggers !!
Please stop making these films. The first film was great and cutting edge but number five......ENOUGH
good stuff

How can anyone knock Chas Bronson?! He was the MAN. This film may appear a trite, re-hashed version of a previous movie in the series, but so what! As one of the last films this guy made, it stands as a homage to an incredible character in 20th century cinema, even though he plays himself in whatever he ever did. This man stand for strength, masculinity and machismo in the extreme and I worship the ground he walked on. Basically, (again) he stands up for what is right, protecting his girl where possible and upholding the law - until the time inevitably comes when he has to become the vigilante again.
