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

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. See more Kristian B Apr 9 Love this movie and it has more action sequences and the story lines up very well. See more Bruno V Mar 30 This franchise has not been sustainable since the end of Matyr's Desire2. - The director insists on showing in this film that revenge is unnecessary, the plot is shallow and that only the CENTRAL character will bring JUSTICE. See more Daniel C. M 09/06/2024 A personal favorite of mine. Underrated as heck and just as good as the first and the 2nd best movie in the franchise behind the first. The pacing of this movie is perfect and starts off very quick. It gives you exactly what it promises: one badass action sequence after another with little time to rest. J. Lee Thompson direction was perfect and should've sticked for Death Wish 5. Out off all the things you can say about this movie, "boring" certainly isn't one of them. The script is EXTREMELY dumb, but that is forgiven considering all the previously mentioned. See more Robson C 09/01/2024 Depois que a filha da sua namorada morre de overdose, Paul Kersey volta à sua vida de vigilante. Um velho milionário o contrata para destruir as duas gangues que controlam o tráfico de droga na cidade. Há uma certa melhora nesse filme. O roteiro apresenta antagonistas para Kersey. Há boas sequências de ação(em comparação com o filme anterior onde Kersey e os bandidos descarregavam todo o pente de balas e nenhum tiro acertava o alvo) e um plot twist. See more Read all reviews
