Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Consequences of Actions
I'm at a point in my life where watching movies like this kind of goes against my nature. But that said, this is probably a better movie than a lot of people would like to admit. very quickly, these movies were made at a time when people felt helpless, and people wanted a hero like the dangerous architect.
Charles Bronson never really looks for trouble, but it has a way of finding him. Many would chalk this up as of course being required for the sequel, but there is some realism to ... Read More
Rating:  - My Favorite Bronson Movie
I would have to say that I not only like DEATH WISH 2 the best out of the whole DEATH WISH saga, this was probably my favorite Charles Bronson movie of them all that I've seen in my lifetime, plus this movie takes me all the way back to memory lane when DEATH WISH II was released in the movies back in the early Spring of 1982 when we had all those budget cuts from the recession we had back in 1981-1982 during Ronald Reagan's presidency and when I saw this movie for the first time when it came out ...

Rating: - Dark, brutal, eerie, atmospheric.
The "Death Wish" series is an interesting grab bag of films. The original was a serious look at a potentially possible situation involving an individual taking the law into his own hands due to dissatisfaction with the legal system. DW 3, 4, and 5 were comic-book style action/thrillers with barely any connection to the original.
So "Death Wish 2" lies somewhere in between. Again, the "dark comic" feel is definitely present in this film, but there is a seriousness and believability not ... Read More
Rating:  - What Happened To Chicago?
Last we left off with our vigilante hero he had transplanted himself to CHICAGO after being kicked-out of NY. But, here in DEATH WISH II Bronson is firmly routed in LOS ANGELES! No explanation is given as to how or why he ended up in LA?? We quickly find out that the vigilante is up to the same tricks.
This is a leaner meaner Bronson in Death Wish II. He has traded in his trench coat for a Members Only jacket! As well as taken to hand-to-hand combat. The plot is the same as the first. ... Read More
Rating:  - If we learn one thing, let it be that nobody ever should provoke someone with the name Charles.
The list is as long as it is astounding. Bronson, Norris(as Chuck is short for Charles), Manson, Murphy(as Charlie is short for Charles). Sid could go on all day. This is like a public service announcement: If you meet someone named Charles or any variation, you better be as nice as you can.
We see this horrifying paralell again in Death Wish 2. In fact, you know what? Everything about this movie was horrifying. We, Sid the Elf were shocked that this movie was made in 1982. I mean, if I'm ... Read More
