N.Y. TIMES REVIEW | Death Wish 5: The Face of Death More On 'Death Wish 5: The Face of Death'
Review/Film; It's Not Just The Killing, It's the How
Print Save By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Published: January 17, 1994, Monday

Among the devices used to maim, torture and kill in "Death Wish V: The Face of Death" are an industrial sewing machine, a steam press, an acidic chemical bath and a shrink-wrap machine that trusses up a victim who is then suspended on a hook like an item of laundry. These tools of the trade are in a clothing factory that is the setting for the film's creepier action sequences. There is also a soccer ball, operated by remote control that explodes in someone's face.

But the most grisly scene in a movie that has one of the highest levels of gratuitous sadism to be found in a modern film, is one in which a mobster in drag follows a beautiful woman into the ladies room of a restaurant, gags her and repeatedly smashes her face into a wall mirror.

"Death Wish V," which opened locally on Friday, is the latest, and one hopes the last, in the 20-year-old series starring Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, a middle-class civilian who takes the law into his own hands. Even though its characters tote cellular phones and live in ultramodern high-rise apartments, the film still has a sleazy 1970's ambiance. And while Mr. Bronson goes through the motions of revenge with his characteristic deliberation, he looks puffy and sounds terminally bored.

In this episode, Kersey, who is teaching in a suburban New York college, reluctantly returns to vigilantism when his fiancee, Olivia (Lesley Anne Down), a fashion model turned clothing manufacturer, is menaced by organized crime. Adding a nasty twist to a preposterous plot is the fact that Tommy O'Shea (Michael Parks), the head racketeer, is Olivia's ex-husband. In the screenplay by Allen Goldstein, who directed, Tommy emerges as a sadistic, racist, child-hating archfiend.

What is especially repugnant about the "Death Wish" movies is the cruelty with which the supposedly mild-mannered Kersey dispenses vigilante justice. It isn't enough that the bad guys eventually get theirs. They must look their avenger in the face before being executed with maximum agony and humiliation. When Tommy is finally pushed into a swirling acidic bath, the camera makes sure he surfaces at least twice, missing several layers of skin and still screaming. "Death Wish V" is rated R. In addition to scenes of extreme violence and cruelty, it includes nudity and strong language.
