Editorial Review:
Drifting as far from Michael Winner's original and interesting 1974 Death Wish as possible, this belated sequel in an often ugly series is nevertheless a harmless, fairly conventional thriller featuring a watchable cast. After his life of loss and misery at the hands of criminals, vigilante Paul Kersey is ready to settle down in romantic bliss with a fashion designer named Olivia (Lesley-Anne Down). Unfortunately, the lady happens to be the target of her mobster ex-husband (Michael Parks), who has a tight grip on New York's garment district. Disfigured and finally murdered by her former spouse, Olivia is avenged in very creative ways by Paul, who resorts to such esoterica as using a remote-controlled soccer ball to deliver an explosive punishment. Bronson largely phones it in for this potboiler, though even in the winter of his life he can look quite compelling in his stoic way. Helping to keep things interesting is Parks's kinky cruelty and Saul Rubinek's vaguely bemused performance as a well-meaning prosecutor. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A new direction, a new approach, and a 90s feel to close out the DW franchise.
With this final entry into the Death Wish series, we find Charles Bronson in ....well....yet another situation that requires him to break out the big guns, or perhaps the poisoned cannolis and exploding soccer balls. Paul Kersey has relocated (AGAIN) to New York, this time happily engaged to fashion designer Olivia Regent (Leslie-Ann Down), but things can't stay happy for long as long as ex-husband and mobster Tommy O'Shea and his henchmen are around. O'Shea and his cronies run a protection racket ... Read More
Rating: - Thanks For the Last Great Film Mr. Bronson
I'm at a point in my life where watching movies like this goes against my nature. But that said, this final chapter in the "Death Wish" series was not only a great conclusion, but it was a great way for Mr. Bronson to finish his acting work. (According to my research, this was the last film Charles Bronson made.) In earlier "Death Wish" movies, Bronson's role as Paul Kersey was limited to revenge and shooting down thugs of a low nature. "Death Wish V" seems to have overcome the problems of the previous ... Read More
Rating: - I will take care of that dandruff problem for ya!
Its a little long winded but a pretty good finale to the bronson series. Love charlie! Rest In Peace. Id rent it first for real bronson fans only!
Rating:  - Kersey's final bow
There's not a lot to say about this, the fifth and final "Death Wish". It's not too out of the ordinary for the series except that it's quite obviously very low budget, resulting in an odd fading-out visual quality. Story-wise it's what we expect and Bronson is his usual grand old self. It's difficult to be too harsh on this one because it would be the last time we'd see the character and the last time Charles Bronson would appear in a theatrical feature. All he would do for the remainder of his life would ... Read More
