When architect-turned-vigilante Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) returns to New York City, he discovers that one of his friends has been murdered by gang members. After the cops bring Paul in for questioning, he receives a tempting offer from the police chief (Ed Lauter) : Paul can have free rein to eliminate the gangsters, as long as the police get the credit. Paul agrees and goes to war against Manny Fraker (Gavan O'Herlihy) and his vicious gang of thugs.

Death Wish 3 is still another in this year's long parade of pathetic power fantasies, cynically exploiting the rage and anxiety of the dispossessed.

Preposterously Rambo-esque.

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

…the mark of a terrible film is that, even on a third or fourth viewing, there are layers of awfulness to be discovered, and by these rules, Death Wish 3 is a very rich text indeed….the third, consistently turgid outing for taciturn vigilante Paul Kersey.

Rated: 1/5

...a decent-enough sequel that ultimately feels more in line with the Rambo series than with the previous two films.

Rated: 2.5/4

I mean, come on, we didn't need a "Death Wish II," but thank Wildey there's a "Death Wish 3."

Feels way longer than it actually is. Pacing is bad and action is ok at best except for the final conflict

Paul Kersey retorna à Nova York para se encontrar com um velho amigo. Ele, porém, é morto por uma gangue que aterroriza os moradores daquele bairro. Porém, o policial Shriker faz um acordo com Kersey para ele limpar o bairro dos bandidos. Aqui não chegamos a ter um roteiro, nem menos uma ideia de um. É tudo estereotipado. Mas parece uma sequência de acontecimentos que foram montados para dar ideia de um roteiro. Pela primeira vez, Kersey tem um antagonista, o chefe da gangue, Fraker. Péssimas interpretações, direção preguiçosa, roteiro inexistente. Era para enterrar a franquia.

Just another attempt at making something that doesn't work.

It is terrifying how accurately a cartoonish 80s action flick (with Bronson in his 60s) predicts how society would develop. There are blocks in every bigger city right now, where the police more or less has given up, and a Paul Kersey is severely needed. We need to take matters into our own hands and make our neighborhoods nice and clean again!

The acting and particularly script is so bad, why do they make the baddies so bad with no redeeming features?! Reality has taken a walk in this film!
