When architect-turned-vigilante Paul Kersey returns to New York City, he discovers that one of his friends has been murdered by gang members. After the cops bring Paul in for questioning, he receives a tempting offer from the police chief: Paul can have free rein to eliminate the gangsters, as long as the police get the credit. Paul agrees and goes to war against Manny Fraker and his vicious gang of thugs.

Death Wish 3 is still another in this year's long parade of pathetic power fantasies, cynically exploiting the rage and anxiety of the dispossessed.

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

This is nothing more than cinematic masturbation.

2.5/4

It’s probably saying something that Death Wish 3 is the junkiest of the Death Wish sequels -- it’s also the most ridiculous and, consequently, the most fun.

Its unintentional hilarity and ham-handed directing could never be replicated.

1/5

…the mark of a terrible film is that, even on a third or fourth viewing, there are layers of awfulness to be discovered, and by these rules, Death Wish 3 is a very rich text indeed….the third, consistently turgid outing for taciturn vigilante Paul Kersey.

The first Death Wish to really go over-the-top, specifically in the third act. It's so cheesy and implausible that you can't help but sit back relax and be entertained by it's 80's cheesy goodness.

I was pleasantly surprised by this sequel. The acting is fine, it moves at a brisk pace and has quite an action packed ending. Jimmy Page's music is still out of place at times.
