Kersey Chaos. Michael Winner once again pushes the buttons of Hollywood with this sequel to his controversial hit, Death Wish. Plot follows a familiar trajectory, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) is now in Los Angeles living a normal life, when wouldn't you know it, some scumbag youths cross his path after administering some rape and pillage on folk close to him... The problem here, and the reason why some critics…

Not great and really uncomfortable to watch (as was the first film, but this one takes it up a level in the assault) but seeing Charles Bronson exacting revenge was good and he's in his element as Kersey. Not as good as the first but still "entertaining" (for the lack of a better word), if not a bit hokey at times late with Kersey getting lucky for the number of people covering for him. **3.0/5**

I've watched a lot of violent movies in my time, my genre is "sci-fi & fantasy" so Alien, Terminator and Predator I can handle violence. But somethings are just beyond disturbing and seeing someone raped was too much for me. After watching "The Matrix" I wanted to see Laurence Fishburne in his earlier movies so it was fun to see a younger him acting, like "where's Waldo".
