this visually arrest action drama top the classic dirty harry in my opinion and the whole vigilante theme be there in both movie but death wish pull on my heartstrings a little more than the testosterone fill harry callahan vigilantism . do not get me wrong i love clint eastwood and the entire dirty harry series but the series of event that mr. bronson have to endure be very very upsetting ( like i be almost in the same room with mr. bronson feel his pain and that be how good i think michael winner do in shoot this film ) . the opening scene ( aka jeff goldblum debut ) be very unsettling and but without that opening scene and we a the viewer really wouldn not have much to get amped up over . bronson retaliation be classic and i find this movie truly redeem in the end . a true classic that will never lose it touch . positive star .
