Once you appreciate how comically lurid Death Wish 2 is, you can relax and enjoy it for what it is. It's a Marvel Comic with someone to turn the pages for you. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/31/2011
0/4
While the first film convinced me of Bronson's need for vengeance, this one is just a series of dumb killings. Go to Full Review Entertainment Weekly 11/06/2009

a strong, visceral experience that is not always comfortable to watch but pleasing to watch as the bad guys get what's coming to them Go to Full Review TV Guide 01/31/2011

The language is filthy, the film is simpleminded, and Bronson's character is as despicable as those he murders. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James H @RT51557711 Jan 3 I think this is when the series becomes more exploitive more then anything with no real story to tell, decent enough to have a good time but not as good as the 1st one. See more nick s @Nick_S Sep 11 A formulaic story that's nothing more than one man's revenge on a bunch of thugs. It doesn't really have anything special to offer. Even the quality was disappointing with a lot of the dialogue dubbed over. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 30 Filme bacaninha para mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacana, o elenco é bacaninha, e só o Charles Bronson ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, nesse filme o Charles Bronson matou os bandidos que invadiram sua casa, ao contrário do primeiro filme, com tudo isso, eu até recomendo esse filme. See more Farah R @Farah May 30 Repeating the exact same plot in the sequel must be number one in what not to do in a sequel handbook. See more Kristian B @RT24988308 04/09/2025 Very entertaining and has a lot more action to it. See more Bruno V @RT13830604 03/20/2025 Brutal and disturbing, then the alter egg takes charge of alleviating the pain and disgust of the scum who don't even deserve the air they breathe.
