death wish be a very clichéd type of movie . someone close to the heroic character be kill and hero go out for revenge . however and there be plot here . there be also character development ( for some character anyway ) . it just doesn not take long for the movie to go down the famous path of hero become a vigilante . charles bronson be obviously the best choice to play paul kersey and the war veteran with a family who be happy with his life until disaster strike . stuart margolin play ames jainchill and kersey new find cowboy friend who introduce him to the world of carry a gun outside of the war . hope lange play joanna and paul wife . vincent gardenia play detective frank ochoa and the detective who be send out to find kersey . i guess the rest of the character aren not really worth mention except for an early appearance by jeff goldblum and who actually play his part very well . the new york setting be very good and the wintry climate give it all the more realism a to how cold the world really be . the music score be also really good . bronson be definitely the main reason to keep watching . the part be seemingly write for him . over all and not a bad movie . i would recommend to mainly fan of vigilante or rogue cop movie and fan of charles bronson and a this be probably the role that fit him best . positive .
