Once you appreciate how comically lurid Death Wish 2 is, you can relax and enjoy it for what it is. It's a Marvel Comic with someone to turn the pages for you. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/31/2011

While the first film convinced me of Bronson's need for vengeance, this one is just a series of dumb killings. Go to Full Review Entertainment Weekly 11/06/2009

a strong, visceral experience that is not always comfortable to watch but pleasing to watch as the bad guys get what's coming to them Go to Full Review TV Guide 01/31/2011

The language is filthy, the film is simpleminded, and Bronson's character is as despicable as those he murders. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James H Jan 3 I think this is when the series becomes more exploitive more then anything with no real story to tell, decent enough to have a good time but not as good as the 1st one. See more nick s @Nick_S Sep 11 A formulaic story that's nothing more than one man's revenge on a bunch of thugs. It doesn't really have anything special to offer. Even the quality was disappointing with a lot of the dialogue dubbed over. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 30 Filme bacaninha para mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacana, o elenco é bacaninha, e só o Charles Bronson ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, nesse filme o Charles Bronson matou os bandidos que invadiram sua casa, ao contrário do primeiro filme, com tudo isso, eu até recomendo esse filme. See more Farah R @Farah May 30 Repeating the exact same plot in the sequel must be number one in what not to do in a sequel handbook. See more Kristian B Apr 9 Very entertaining and has a lot more action to it. See more Bruno V Mar 20 Brutal and disturbing, then the alter egg takes charge of alleviating the pain and disgust of the scum who don't even deserve the air they breathe. See more Read all reviews
