Death Wish II—very graphic nudity and exceptional violence—pushes the movie beyond the R-rating. Charles Bronson is cast well for the lead role. The movie does an exceptional job of making an audience outraged for justice and satisfied at the end of the film that justice has been properly meted. The movie is made for a very sophisticated, mature audience.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. This movie is not for the faint of heart; it has exceptionally graphic violence early in the movie before it starts on its justice theme. It has been well-arranged for effect but is not an ‘everyone’ watch film.
