Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
lukem-52760 I love the Death wish franchise i really do & have watched them all so many times it's crazy & Paul Kersey is my favourite movie character ever!!! So you know i love these crazy Vigilante Thrillers, now part 2 is EASILY the most disturbing & sickest with the vile over long rape scene that is horrible but i also can see that this scene can show us why this gang of scum so needs to be exterminated by Kersey!!! I won't go on about the plot or story but let's just say Bronson is out for revenge & hunts this gang of sick rapists down in the very gritty & grimy streets of los Angeles that oozes with darkness & menace, Bronson is very good as always as the silent avenger but to me he got much better as he got older as the character & actor especially in my favourite Part 3.Death Wish 2 is gritty & extremely dark,raw & brutal,a proper GRINDHOUSE revenge Thriller
adonis98-743-186503 Architect Paul Kersey once again becomes a vigilante when he tries to find the five street punks who murdered his daughter and housekeeper, this time on the dark streets of Los Angeles. Death Wish II once again has Charles Bronson going against some thugs and this time on the streets of L.A, now let me start with the good stuff which is Bronson as Kersey who is once again excellent and badass in the role plus that fight scene in the Hospital was dope, the rest of the Cast does a great job too and the action is nicely done and the soundtrack is very 80's style. As far as flaws go? The film at times feels like it's going to end and it doesn't that happens somewhere at the last 30 to 32 minutes before the movie ends plus i hated how his daughter died it was both kinda heroic and dumb and the whole rape and women getting killed does kinda bother me with all of those 5 movies i mean Schwarzenegger and Stallone never seemed to face that kind of a problem with their movies. Overall Death Wish 2 is no masterpiece and it never intended to be one in the first place and except some dumb scenes with the daughter getting impaled or the policeman from the first film getting murdered (sequels do that often it seems) this was a perfectly action film that was enjoyable despite severe flaws with it's script and characters. (7.5/10)
Jamesfilmfan905 Death wish 2 is the crass disgusting vulgar exploitive piece of 80s trash which has more plot holes than your average children's book anyway the story once again stars Charles Bronson as Paul kersey who has moved to los Angeles to try and get his act together and move on from the events of the first film he goes to pick up his now sane daughter carol who has recovered from the injury's she suffered in the first film from the attempted rape by the 3 disgusting perversely warped monsters that were led by jeff goldblum that were never caught by the police or Bronson after getting away with such a sick crime on both the daughter and mother who died from her injury's . Anyway the film really outdid itself in a particularly gruesome scene in which three new thugs break it Bronson's house physically assault then rape the maid this scene does not belong in any sort of film no matter what Michael winner should have been ashamed of himself for making such a piece of s***t . The only reason it gets a 2 from me is Bronson's serviceable if a little amateurish performance and the action scenes but apart from that a thoroughly disgusting film to an effective original 1974 flick that was effective in its own way .
jimbo-53-186511 Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson)has moved from New York City to Los Angeles as a means of starting over again. His daughter has been released from hospital, although she's still in a semi-catatonic state. Kersey has a new love interest and a housekeeper and everything seems to be going OK for Kersey. However, when Kersey's wallet becomes stolen after he's been mugged, the gang find address confirmation in Kersey's wallet and proceed to Kersey's home where they kill his housekeeper and kidnap his daughter and then kill her. Following these events, Kersey goes back to his old ways and sets about tracking down the gang of muggers.I think what I liked about Death Wish 2 is the fact that it is more focused than the first film. The narrative in the first film was shaky to say the least and I found that the events in the second half never really connected with what had happened in the first half - he killed lots of would be muggers, but never seemed to pursue those that perpetrated the original crime against his wife and daughter which never made any sense to me. Thankfully, with this film it's much more straight forward - Kersey goes after the muggers that killed his wife and daughter and that's all there is to this film and it's this straight forward and focused plot that makes this a stronger film. Like the first film, it's quite graphic and brutal, but again this does give the film a very realistic feel to it. As a direct result of the stronger narrative it ultimately means that the film flows much better and it never really gets to a point where it becomes boring.The only real glaring weakness I could find with this film lay with Jill Ireland; I felt that her acting was a bit wooden and her character was probably one of the most bland characters that I've ever seen. I also never really bought into their romance either. Thankfully, her character and their romance don't make that much of an impact on the film and Winner mostly just allows Bronson to do his 'thing' which was perfectly OK with me.One final thing I'll say about this sequel is don't be put off by its current rating of 5.9. It's an underrated sequel which is much better than its rating suggests. If you liked the first film then you will like this film. As for me, I preferred it to the first film, but I know I'm in the minority on that one.
