Note : The 70s and early 80s wave of vigilante films can be pretty much traced back to a single film, this one. Directed by far-right British filmmaker Michael Winner, and headlined by Winner's newest favorite actor, Charles Bronson, with whom he'd already collaborated several times (before Bronson, Oliver Reed was Winner's preferred leading man), it was an instant box office hit, and denounced as fascist, anti-social, and downright dangerous, but clearly struck a chord with audiences. In the end, it's not a great film, and it certainly wears its politics on its sleeve, but it's a solid piece of entertainment, if you like watching Charles Bronson murder poor and black people. The action's fairly realistic and unflashy (unlike the sequels, there are no rocket launchers or machine guns), and it also has a few small apperances by later fairly famous actors, most notably Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Guest.
Architect and bleeding heart liberal Paul Kersey lives in Manhattan with his wife Joanna. One day, while he's not home, his wife and their grown daughter Carol are the victims of a home invasion in which Joanna is killed and Carol is raped and left catatonic. Kersey is soon after attacked by a mugger in the street, but fights back, and the mugger runs off. When in Arizona to visit a client, he's treated to a day at the shooting range, where, as usual in white male power fantasies, he turns out to be a natural marksman, and the client ends up giving him a revolver and ammunition as a parting gift. Back in NYC, he loads the gun and goes for a walk, and is attacked by a mugger who he shoots dead. He's seemingly shocked at his own actions, but not more than that he's soon stalking the streets looking for confrontation, and after he's killed several more people, the NYPD starts pursuing him.
This is a quite nice 4k remaster, maybe a little grainy, but good color and contrast, and decent detail, with an appropriately grimy, brownish look to it. 5.1 remaster sounds good, original mono is also nice and present, and the commentary track is interesting.
