Directed by William Lustig, written by Richard Vetere, produced by Andrew W. Garroni and William Lustig.
Average viewer score of 6.2/10 from 115 ratings.
Not a great revenge thriller but does feature two wonderful performances from Robert Forster and Fred Williamson. Some okay action in the third act though just when it felt like the revenge portion was just going into high gear, the movie seemed to abruptly end. Doesn't really match up with Death Wish but still a decent entry into the genre. **3.25/5**
