Review of Death Wish II

Death Wish II (1982)
7/10
Paul Kersey's the wrong person to cross!
12 September 2012
This sequel to the first "Death Wish" was promising, but the right version must suit the liking. Yes, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) is back along with his daughter, Carol (Robin Sherwood) and a new love name Geri(Jill Ireland, 1936-90) who lives in Los Angeles. They have an outing when a group of muggers grabs Paul's wallet, tracks down his address, rapes and kill the housekeeper, and grabs the daughter. It's more disturbing when the daughter is so sedated, one of the muggers has his way with her. That scene was sick! When she throws herself out the window and onto a fence., the old Paul is back! With a new gun in hand, the killings are very swift. His actions draws out someone from his past. But this time, he was more sympathetic. No holding back! However, this movie has been given a lot of negative feedback. My own feedback is how it was presented on TV. The movie still could have more action, it would have improved it more. It was a little too tame in some parts. But Bronson knows how to bring it on. Still good to me, I'm not letting the critics bring this movie down! 2 out of 5 stars
