Wonderful character development!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Death Wish 4: the crackdown (1987) is my personal favourite of the action packed fun Death Wish franchise!!! I won't go on about the plot or story as it's basic action Thriller 80s fun but i will talk about this Easily being the best of the series!!! BRONSON is at his best here as Vigilante Paul Kersey (my favourite film character ever) he's like the original Punisher in his Hunt & crackdown of gangsters & his portrayal is absolutely best here in part 4, Paul Kersey has become a kind of MYTHICAL avenger almost supernatural & scary to criminals as seen in the excellent opening Nightmare scene!!! A GREAT way to reintroduce the Vigilante in an almost Horror fashion that works perfectly & gives us the MOST iconic version of Paul Kersey & of BRONSON himself, like i said the opening gives us AWESOME scenes of Kersey stood in half in shadow in a long leather coat & introduces himself as DEATH!!! just perfect & cemented his status as a scary Vigilante. Part 4 is also the best directed out of the entire franchise & it shows all the way through & again is better for it & someone actually knowing what to do with the Awesome Paul Kersey character & actually making him intimidating & at the same time very cool & iconic. Yep the best filmof the series & the best version of mr. Vigilante & the best directed & has the best opening scene of the lot & a really nice 80s jazzy music score that fits perfectly with this less gritty & grimy but more cleaner Action packed Thriller that's pure entertainment from that CLASSIC opening to the Awesome kick ass ending!!! Perfect Bronson perfect Kersey, my favourite BRONSON film

The fourth in the series is definitely one of the cheesiest Death Wish films out there, almost equalling the heady heights of DEATH WISH 3 in many key scenes. Utilising only the barest backbone of a plot, this outing sees Bronson battling against various despicable drug dealers, and, in a very similar fashion to Seagal's OUT FOR A KILL, the film basically consists of him going along and killing person after person with no bonding, characterisation, dialogue or family scenes to get in the way. Now this is what an '80s Cannon film is all about!The action is leaner here unlike the all out balls-to-the-wall assault that was DEATH WISH 3; this time Bronson works alone, going after and killing the baddies one by one in various amusing ways. This entry, we get death by wine-bottle-bomb; a guy getting chucked out of a high-rise; a guy exploding with a rocket launcher, and plenty more interesting and exciting moments. The film is a little like the first entries in the series, being grittier here, more realistic and a lot darker in terms of lighting. Don't expect any happy endings.The cast are okay but really nothing special. Bronson walks through the part with his stony face, delivering cheesy one-liners that are actually amusing, and you can't wish for anything more. John P. Ryan is typically over-the-top whilst TV actress Kay Lenz barely get a look in as Bronson's new wife. Movie baddie Soon-Tek Oh pops up as a crooked cop hot on Bronson's trail, whilst there are very small parts for future stars Mitch Pileggi and Danny Trejo. The run-time is short and the film is packed with sadistic action and suspense; pretty much all you can want in a typical mindless '80s action. I love it!

Paul Kersey (Bronson) is back to wipe out an entire drug cartel, to be honest, two. He's got a new girlfriend with a daughter but once the daughter overdosed it's time to hunt. Better than part 3 but this time it do moves slowly and clocking in over 90 minutes it's a bit to long. Storywise it's only the name Kersey that makes references toward the 1974 original, this is more a typical Cannon (the distributors) action movie then a revenge flick. On part of the effects, this maybe is the best of the franchise. And for the freaks, Danny Trejo is to spot in the Italian restaurant.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

It's another sequel that destroys what was accomplished by the first movie . There is nothing memorable here . It's dull . It has weak acting. It's badly directed , which is surprising since J. Lee Thompson ("Cape fear") is the director . Charles Bronson is just too old to play convincingly in action movie anymore . "The Death wish 4" is also so stupid at places that it even isn't funny.The second one at least had some violence . The third one at least wasn't boring . Here ? Here is nothing . Cheap , cheap at every level . Boredom from beginning to the end. The movie tries to impress viewer with some twists near the end , but they are too obvious to work.I give it 1/10.Watch out for Danny Trejo ("Desperado") in a small role of Zacharias gang member.
