DEATH WISH (1974)

MICHAEL WINNER

Plot

The morally vacuous tale of an architect who goes on a gun-happy vigilante mission after his wife is murdered and his daughter assaulted to the point of catatonia (by a very sleazy looking Jeff Goldblum in his first screen role). Stalking the dark and dingy streets of a New York, where every shadowy corner hides a low-life punk willing to kill you for your loose change, Bronson dispenses his own inimitable brand of justice. Despite its age 'Death Wish' still has the power to pack a punch and its infamy is well-deserved.
