Stephen Holden New York Times While Mr. Bronson goes through the motions of revenge with his characteristic deliberation, he looks puffy and sounds terminally bored. Rated: 1/5 Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Richard Harrington Washington Post Somehow, writer-director Allan Goldstein has managed to make a film that looks and feels older than its original mold. Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Michael Sauter Entertainment Weekly This might make an appropriately absurd finale for a series that long ago went over the top. But Paul Kersey's not finished yet! Rated: D Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...With Bronson phoning it in and looking every inch the 73 year old action star, you’ll feel older than Bronson by the time this lame adventure has trickled to a halt... Rated: 1/5 Jan 29, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a noticeable (and distressing) step downwards for the admittedly erratic franchise... Rated: 2/4 Apr 9, 2023 Full Review TV Guide What's revolting, if not surprising, about this salute to Bernie Goetz, the NRA, and All-American contempt for civil liberties, is the casual inevitability of all the violence. Rated: 2/4 Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Kristian B Good movie it needed a great conclusion and I wish there was more scenes to the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Anthony C The DEATH Wish series ends with this last installment. A good movie but not nearly as much action as the others.Still Bronson is in fine form here delivering what he did best! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review NiB Y Terrible pacing, specially compared to it's predecessor. Some nice kills but that's about it. Drags itself for way too long, with a disappointing and uninspired ending. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Robson C Paul Kersey tem uma nova identidade e uma nova vida em Nova York. Ele namora Olivia Regent, uma designer de moda em ascensão. Porém, ela foi casada com um mafioso Tommy O'Shea e ele interfere nos negócios dela. A situação vai num crescendo que leva Kersey novamente ao vigilantismo. Devido à idade de Bronson e a sua saúde, este filme traz algumas mudanças, Kersey usa de outras formas de matar os seus inimigos. Enquanto antes era basicamente ele com um revolver na mão, aqui ele chega a usar de veneno. Aqui continua a existência de um antagonista para Kersey, sendo que O'Shea foi o melhor que surgiu nos três filmes que adotaram essa narrativa. Michael Parks passou o tom certo de maldade e psicopatia. Interessante que este filme é o que melhor representou os inimigos de Kersey. Afinal, não tem muito que mudá-lo: ele está numa boa fase da sua vida, acontece uma tragédia e ele volta a matar. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Liam D A franchise that was running out of steam. This isn’t so bad it’s good it’s just dull and kinda depressing Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Rami A A very underwhelming end to the series. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
