this movie be often brand a a violent and fascist one . i think this be nonsense and since if this movie be violent and then what about others like first blood and commando or rambo just to name a few . if one watch this movie carefully can see it´s a very likely story . paul kersey ( charles bronson ) be not a violent man at all and it´s a liberal and broad mind architect who lead an ordinary life until his wife be murder by some punk . and that´s not precisely a funny thing to happen to anyone . this be not a specially violent movie a i have say before . it´s the story of a man who lose what he love the most . and just decides to make justice . and become the vigilante . this movie be a masterpiece . probably the best movie star charles bronson .
