since paul kersey be run short of actual relative to avenge and the third installment in the death wish saga revolves on him return to new york to visit an old war buddy . he arrive only to find out that brooklyn entirely change into a pauperized gangland and that youthful thug kill his friend and continuously terrorize all the other tenant of a ramshackle apartment building . kersey strike a deal with the local police commissioner and conquer the heart of his blond attorney and blow away numerous villain with an impressive wildey magnum gun and gradually train and inspire the petrified new yorkers to stand up for themselves . okay and there no more point in defend the death wish series after see part three . the 1974 original be a masterpiece that revolve on the social drama as much a it do on the retribution and and even though it be pure exploitation and part two still have quite a few redeeming quality and at least the event be a logically link to those occur in the first . number three frequently feel like a totally separate franchise . apparently and kersey isn not an architect anymore and he ten times more social and talkative than he use to be and suddenly nobody and not even the police and be against vigilante action anymore . all these change and several other aspect make it more than obvious that michael winner and charles bronson reduce their death wish success to be a purely brainless and exploitative action series and with a death toll that gigantically increase with each episode and armory that become more and more explosive and criminal that get nasty and sleazy and meaner and a lot hard to kill . however and the gentleman do not seem to realize that the non stop spitfire of violence actually create an opposite effect and namely this extremely monotonous and much more boring than the previous two . i once read a brilliant review that refer to death wish 3 a the pure definition of cinematic masturbation . this description couldn not be more spot on and a the script tiredly move itself from one repugnant execution sequence to the next . particularly the final twenty minute be a complete orgy of gunfire and explosion and execution realize through improvised homemade measure . yi haaa . this entry in the series have quite an interesting supportive cast and include martin balsam ( psycho and 12 angry men ) a the fatigue neighbor who keep machine gun in his closet and ed lauter ( family plot and the long yard ) a the slightly unorthodox copper and even alex winter ( from bill and ted excellent adventure . ) in his debut role a one of the thug .
