Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
lukem-52760 Death Wish 5 is a very good dark Thriller & very early 90s & that's cool, BRONSON is very good & very weary as this older version of Vigilante Paul Kersey in this AWESOME 5th film in the DW franchise!!! To me Bronson got better & better with age like his BRILLIANT portrayal of Kersey in the way underrated & my favourite Death Wish 4. Bronson is great fun in this 5th film you can see he's having fun & he gets to go face to face with the best villain in the whole franchise you will see what i mean!!! As for the whole film this is a very good late night type of solid Action Thriller with a great performance by the older Bronson who can still kick ass & shoot scum!!! This is my 2nd fave Death Wish film after the BRILLIANT part 4, these two films to me show the best versions of the Kersey-Vigilante character & brings out the best of BRONSON & that's AWESOME
Paul Magne Haakonsen Funny how the fifth and final movie in the "Death Wish" movies turned out to actually be the best of them all. And it only took them 20 years to improve the formula. Odd, huh?Now, I have already mentioned that "Death Wish V: The Face of Death" is the best of the five movies, and that is attributed to the fact that it had the most mature and well-rounded of all five storylines told in the franchise.Funny how Paul Kersey loses someone he loves in every single movie, and yet he keeps going. Why not just isolate himself in the countryside? Bam, end of tragic losses and deaths.Well, I think that "Death Wish V: The Face of Death" as actually a nice way to tie up the franchise and leave it to rest. Wait, that's not true is it? Not with the 2018 remake with Bruce Willis hitting the cinema.Personally, I think that the "Death Wish" movies will always belong to Charles Bronson, because he embodied the Paul Kersey character and he was the face representing the franchise.If you enjoyed the previous four movies, then you definitely also will enjoy the fifth and final, yes final!, movie in the "Death Wish" franchise.
Jamesfilmfan905 Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) 18 | 95 min | Action, Crime, Drama | 14 January 1994 (USA) plot Paul Kersey is back at working vigilante justice when his fiancée, Olivia, has her business threatened by mobsters . Death wish 5 is the final film in the series starring Charles Bronson is a middle aged man who is also a vigilante battles mobsters who are led by Michael parks who are trying to sabotage his girlfriends soon to be fiancé olive regent played by Lesley Anne down from continuing . Anyway the film isn't as bad as that bad as some people might say sure the script is ineptly riddled with clichés seen in other movies of this genre its preposterous to watch Charlie boy running about dodging bullets and killing off bad guys in macabre ways at the age of 75 but . I got to say he looks in great shape and his stunt doubles are far less obvious as seen in a couple of the previous films and his performance still shows the character of Paul kersey still has some depth left in him and its an going through the motions performance but still serviceable considering his age at the time . Lesley Anne down is gorgeous but severely wooden as Bronson's girlfriend Michael parks is in my mind undoubtedly the best villain in the entire series suitably smarmy and sleazy . so anyway its not a great film but if you liked the others . I guess check it out .
Nexus Engel Despite the fact that I still managed to enjoy this movie despite its many, MANY flaws, I have to admit I'm sad that the series ended this way. It started off great, and while it was going downhill with all the sequels (thankfully not as many as Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th) it still remained an entertaining series all the way down to the fifth and final movie. The quality dropped considerably with each stupidly fun sequel, until finally we reach 'The Face of Death': it seemed so much like a TV movie, all the way down to the opening credits and the wooden acting. Even Bronson seemed less charismatic than usual.Anyway, Kersey now has himself a family of three with him. That is, until the mom has her face disfigured with a mirror ('Face of Death,' get it?), the daughter is kidnapped, and...... actually, nothing happens to the maid. Shocking.Kersy may as well have named everyone he meets 'Kenny,' because no matter where he goes all of these Kenny clones are killed within the first twenty minutes of the movie (forty, tops). Once again, Kersey wants revenge, and he'll get it. Because we wouldn't have a movie if he didn't. The daughter is kidnapped by her mobster dad, played by Michael Parks, who proves to be a really nasty piece of work.'The Face of Death,' while it is a tired sequel, still manages to have its moments. Remote control soccer balls (that EXPLODE), badass exits after committing a murder just TWO SECONDS before a cop goes in the same door without noticing the murderer leave; silly dialogue, nudity, brutal violence, and the sleaze that this exploitation franchise is known for.Unfortunately, the acting is the worst it's ever been, and the quality is also the lowest in the franchise. Despite that, it still delivers some fun and good-natured vengeance.And vats of hot wax.It's worth a watch, if only to say that you saw everything this series had to offer (although you could say that after just watching the first three). The series ends on a low note, which is a shame, but it gets the job done in a sort of half-baked way."If you need my help, call me."No, Mr. Kersey. You've suffered enough. Goodbye.
