"A New York City architect becomes a one-man vigilante squad after his wife is murdered by street punks in which he randomly goes out and kills would-be muggers on the mean streets after dark."-IMDb
My kind of film! Not only does it feature a mainstream actor killing people, his killings have a purpose. He is killing the scum of New York City, in a way he is making the streets safer which in the film (and in real life) it appears the police can not. This film is the usual get revenge film but it is also more than that. It has heart, it is more realistic than the other revenge films I have seen. Charles Bronson was excellent, he added a great human element to his character. I do think that the other characters were a little underwritten but they don't really matter as much as the main cast. The director did a fantastic job with this film and I wouldn't mind watching another film of his.
3/5
