Paul Kersey, the soft-spoken family man with the knack for wasting street scum, hoped that, after cleaning an entire neighbourhood in Death Wish 3 (1985), he would hang up his guns, and lead a peaceful life. Nevertheless, more than ever, chaos, panic, and disaster are rampant on the mean streets of Los Angeles, as the unscrupulous drug dealers, Ed Zacharias and Jack Romero, whose rival gangs supply 90% of the narcotics in Los Angeles, exploit the helpless, terrorising everyone with their brutal methods. But, their reign of terror is about to end violently when the innocent teenage daughter of Kersey's girlfriend dies of an overdose. Now, once again, the guns, and, in particular, Paul's stainless-steel Ruger Mini-14 GB-F semi-automatic rifle, have the final say. Who can stand in the way of an angry, terribly dangerous, and armed-to-the-teeth Paul Kersey?
Leave your thoughts about Death Wish 4: The Crackdown.
| 7M PicturesKevin Carrmore like a overtly violent after-school special rather than a cathartic vigilante movie |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasDeath Wish 4 may be preposterous, but on the level of technique it's a solid textbook example of crisp exploitation picture craftsmanship. Thompson clearly takes pleasure in setting up every scene with maximum economy and impact, and his work is that of a professional without apologies. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyThe best Death Wish movie since the first. There's more plot this time, and the bazooka finale won't be forgotten. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesDeath Wish 4 is as efficient and predictable as Kersey himself, and inoffensive as long as you can root for a sociopathic hero. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellJust when you thought it couldn't get any worse ... |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonThis time around, there's barely any plot, just excuses for Bronson to blow people away. |
| User ReviewJezzy AOK, so when you're on a roll.....! I still enjoyed NUmber Four -it was about this time the hug-a-bumblebee crowd were getting really pissed with Winner, who responded by flicking a two-fingered salute to their bruised sensibilities. |
| User ReviewIan CThis time Kersey is back in Los Angles and is out to clean all drug pushers off the street after his girlfriends daughter overdoses on crack. Hired with an arsenal that could sponsor a revolution in Latin America, Bronson goes after the two drug cartels that control the city. The finale is the fucking balls. |
| User ReviewJo YAll the Death Wish's are good. He keeps you on the edge of your seat. |
| User ReviewMichael KWhen the daugther of Paul Kersey's latest flame is killed by a gang of drug pushers he vows to rid the streets of drugs once and for all. stars Charles Bronson, Dana Barron and Soon Tek-Oh. |
