Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Feb 2
1.5/4
Probably the worst entry in the franchise. Go to Full Review
Juan Carlos Coto South Florida Sun-Sentinel 08/19/2021
1.5/4
In this by-the-numbers revenge fantasy, Bronson delivers the expected crash-and-bang picture (perfect for popcorn munching), but except for a catchy opening and some twists near the end, Death Wish 4 has few surprises. Go to Full Review

more like a overtly violent after-school special rather than a cathartic vigilante movie Go to Full Review

The best Death Wish movie since the first. There's more plot this time, and the bazooka finale won't be forgotten. Go to Full Review

CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni 2d Sequel is watchable, and some ways, better than part 3, More action, More high powered weapons, as Bronson goes after rival drug lords, See more Vincent S @RT47579145 2d Not as bad as I thought it would be. I wasn’t a fan of Charles Bronson as an actor or as a Dirty Harry character rip off. Though here I was entertained by the schlock and silliness and was somewhat entertained. See more Noel L @RT15930389 Mar 1 So dated. Why does everyone have to die. The special effects, action, acting, and plot needed some improving See more Amor A @Cinemalover_09 Dec 9 O filme é um show de diversão apesar de ser meio fraco. Charles Bronson continua incrível e energético. As cenas de ação dão um baile de incríveis. Apesar de não ser o melhor da franquia é um dos mais divertidos e vale a pena assistir. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 14 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bacaninha, e metade do elenco ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, esse filme foi um pouco melhor do que o terceiro filme, e foi o primeiro filme da Franquia Death Wish que não teve nudez, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.
