Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
robertbisceglia I happen to love all of the Death Wishes dearly, mostly 1-4. In this sequel Paul finds himself in a new relationship in a new city. (boy does he drift a lot) So his step daughter starts hanging out with a bad crowd, and dies from a drug overdose. Mr. Kersey, pretty much accepting vigilantism as a way of life at this point tries to find the source of the drugs and neutralize it and the movie follows that plot, and you also have the obligatory useless asshole cops who get on Paul's case about his past, etc. It's another satisfying installment of justice to this series. We all get the feeling of just wanting to rid all of the cartels and dealers, but like the previous two Death Wishe's there are some plot holes, but you have to overlook them to see the broader picture. Just put yourself in Kersey's shoes and you will enjoy the movie. I also was really happy at the fact that there was no rape scenes, those get tiring and annoying to see even though it is reality.
horrorgasm This is awful movie and I can only assume that the glowing reviews here are based on twisted nostalgia. I like a good over the top classic action movie as much as the next guy. I enjoyed the ridiculously cheesy and over the top Death Wish 3 and this was clearly trying to do something more in that vein, but the script, editing, and directing are just awful. They try to have Bronson playing more of a spy/detective role here, but he's completely incompetent at it, getting caught and almost dying just about every time he's trying to be stealthy. Of course he still wins anyway despite all his constant bumbling, which makes it all even worse. It's all so poorly written and inconsistent. He goes on multiple infiltration missions and inexplicably leaves all his weapons at home. On another infiltration mission he brings a silencer, but then on another mission later, one at a much bigger place, with a lot more guys in it, he brings the same gun but inexplicably without the silencer (and blows the mission and almost dies again). Why are we cheering for this character anymore? Where's the clever, capable Paul Kersey from the previous films? Not here. There are some embarrassingly bad action scenes in here too. Like that pathetic looking wine bombing part or that godawful fight scene where he hits the guy in the back with a chair and it causes the guy to take a running leap through his balcony window and over the rail about 10 feet away? These were inexcusably bad.With no worthwhile plot and no worthwhile action, what exactly is it that people like about this film? It's not entertaining even by low B-movie standards. It's just a bargain bin entry in a series that was already pushing way past its prime.
ivo-cobra8 Death Wish 4: The Crackdown the fourth movie in Death Wish franchise is criminally underrated and misunderstood action flick from The Cannon Group, Inc. of the 80s. It is a good movie it is not the best or great but it is a decent good movie. Paul Kersey avenges all the children that have died an over dose from drugs that is why I love this film to death! It is my favorite action film the movie that grow on me. This movie has special place in my heart it is my favorite Charles Bronson film of all time. J. Lee Thompson beautiful directed this film it arguably his good film.This is the original Punisher not Frank Castle Jon Bernthal but Paul Kersey is The Punisher. You watch Jon Bernthal as The Punisher (2017) I watch Charles Bronson Death Wish 4: The Crackdown film. It is arguably my favorite and so underrated action flick I really miss movies like are this one today I miss action movies like are this one. I am a huge fan of Charles Bronson I have been watching his movies since I was a kid and Death Wish series are my favorite film series. Death Wish 1,2,3 and 4 were really good misunderstood action movies. "DEATH!"Death Wish 4: The Crackdown it is my favorite Charles Bronson action film in the 80's. Michael Winner, who directed the first three films in the series, was replaced by J. Lee Thompson. Death Wish 4: The Crackdown had a substantially lower budget and a more limited release than its predecessors. Even with a low budget the film for me works I really miss the 80's. The movie and the character Paul Kersey. Paul Kersey kill's the bad guys drug dealers for all the children and that's all the movie tells you. Charles Bronson acts brilliant and does a fine solid job. John P. Ryan is a perfectly bad guy. Soon-Tek Oh plays a corrupt cop he plays decent the bad guy. Kay Lenz was beautiful and decent perfectly as the new girlfriend of Paul Kersey. Perry Lopez as the bad guy was also excellent. George Dickerson as detective Reiner was excellent cop i have seen and a real good guy. Almost everyone who played in this movie is dead and it is no longer with us anymore. This movie has my respect. The movie has tons of action and explosions Paul (Charles Bronson) uses a M16 with M203 grenade launcher to go after Nathan White (John Ryan) and his men at the roller rink. He shoots the bad guys and he blows Nathan White with grenade launcher to pieces. I miss action movies like this, this were real practical effects real actions no CGI crap all real actions. Is it just me or this is just my action movie? I love Paul Kersey he kills all the bad guys with machine gun MAC-10 and kills all the drug dealers. The movie has a beautiful score that I love from John Bisharat, Paul McCallum and Valentine McCallum.Death Wish 4: The Crackdown is an American 1987 action crime film, and the fourth installment in the Death Wish film series. The film was directed by J. Lee Thompson, and features Charles Bronson, who reprises his leading role as Paul Kersey.9/10 Grade: A
AaronCapenBanner Charles Bronson returns again as vigilante Paul Kersey, this time back in L.A., and after the drug dealers responsible for the overdose death of his girlfriend's daughter. Paul is helped by tycoon Nathan White(John P. Ryan) who wants to "hire" Paul to use his skills to eradicate the drug families in the area. Paul agrees(and in a situation similar to "Fistful Of Dollars") goes undercover to bring both crime families down, only to learn that it isn't as simple as that...Interesting to chart this series compared to the similar "Dirty Harry" films, but this franchise declined in quality compared to the other, though Charles Bronson was still quite capable of handling the action, the script and production were weak, with an unconvincing plot and uninspired action scenes making the film seem redundant; unusual ending, which could be looked at as both Bronson/Kersey giving up...though there would be one last film to come.
