10/07: Charles Bronson is at it again in Death Wish 4: The Crackdown.

It's a typical Death Wish flick but with a made-for-TV feel. Finding out who the director was, it's J. Lee Thompson. I hate his style. Many scenes are cheesy. The introduction is horrid, but the good thing is that it's only a dream.

Near the fish/drug shop, Paul Kersey is engaged in a shootout with well over hundred of bad guys and comes away unscathed. It's hardly likely. Charles Bronson isn't bad and makes the third sequel work.

My theory is still proven true when it comes to the women Paul Kersey has for a girlfriend or daughter as they've become the fifth and sixth victims of the franchise. Perhaps he should rethink getting involved with anyone or, at least, warn them by saying, "If you want to be with me, you may end up dead...no, seriously."

All in all, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown is enjoyable to a certain extent.
