Review

Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) is probably the second best of the Death Wish vigilante series.

You will definitely have to concentrate on not over-analyzing it to fully enjoy it, however. An obviously older Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) is in the witness protection program, and is hiding -- get this -- as a professor of architecture in New York City, where he began.

Further, he is dating a prominent fashion designer, and ex wife of an Irish mob boss. When the boss first messes up her face, then kills her, and tries to kill Kersey, Kersey comes out of retirement. This time, he has more tricks than just handguns that never miss. My personal favorite was the use of the old remote controlled soccer ball bomb.

It could be that I was in a good mood today, but I was entertained. There was, of course, no suspense. You knew from the opening credits that Bronson would kick ass, and prevail in the end, but there was cleverness and more than a little humor. I have to give this one a 2 1/2 ... an ok way to waste an evening.

Nudity Report Sharolyn Sparrow as the girlfriend of the mob hit man does a very nice hot tub scene.
