    Another Charles Bronson vehicle which you need a cast-iron gut to endure. This time the vigilante's friend plays an LA vice cop who teams up with a Japanese businessman whose daughter is kidnapped by a gang who enslave children in the sex trade. This utterly repellent premise is handled by regular Bronson director J Lee Thompson, as if it were merely an episode of Kojak rather than a serious subject. Bronson is decent enough, but we've seen him play the role of avenger so often he's turned into a photocopy of himself.

  • Depressingly violent and nasty thriller, little more than a rerun of the star's Death Wish vigilante series.

    CHARLES BRONSON PLAYS PAUL KERSEY

    It does not matter what film Mr Bronson acts in his characters always resemble Paul Kersey from Death Wish. It is not a bad film but it is very predictable, with the inevitable final showdown between good and bad (again the plot of most of his movies). The subject matter is handled sensitively. It's just a shame that Charles will be remembered for his violent roles and not his acting.
