UHD 4K Review – Death Wish II

1974's "Death Wish" was an adaptation of a novel by Brian Garfield, who expressed his disappointment in the picture, which turned out to be a major hit for the producers. Tapping into a growing feeling of disillusionment in the criminal justice system and fear concerning rising crime rates, "Death Wish" found its moment, offering viewers a crude summation of Garfield's ideas, sold with reliable steeliness from star Charles Bronson. There wasn't more story to tell, but there was more money to be made, inspiring new producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus to revive the brand name eight years later, bringing back Bronson and director Michael Winner to revive vigilante escapism. "Death Wish II" restores Paul Kersey to full power, but there's no material to support the character, who once again embarks on a mindless hunt for big city scum. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
