Pre-order: Zavvi
In this explosive story of revenge and urban violence, Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a bleeding-heart liberal who has a change of opinion after his wife and daughter are violently attacked by a gang of thugs in their apartment. His daughter is sexually assaulted and his wife is murdered. Bronson then turns vigilante as he stalks the mean streets of New York on the prowl for muggers, hoodlums and the like. Death Wish is a violent, controversial film that is frank and original in its treatment of urban crime and the average citizen’s helplessness in dealing with it. Herbie Hancock wrote the musical score. And watch for a young Jeff Goldblum in his film debut as one of the thugs.
Not loving the piss poor artwork on these new 4K releases. This film deserves better artwork.
not 4k…
Steelbook Blu Ray News the 4K part of my comment wasn’t really that important in the grand scheme of things, the artwork is poor. There have been a few releases like this recently ( that were 4K ) and they are all pretty bland.
But a worthy steelbook film wise.
David Humphries you’re bang on with some of these similar releases. Quite bland / so so with little effort put in.
Personally I like this art work, but overall this batch of releases is pretty uninspiring
A digital copy too…. sweet!
These ones really are the worst type of steelbook – just reissue in a steel box that stinks of “and these idiots will pay up”. Okay all steels have an element of that but these are not nice to look at
