Death Wish 2 (1982)

There's no lengthy character build-up this time because the vigilante part of Paul Kersey (Bronson) that cleans the streets is still there, so all he needs do is call upon it when the time is right. Considering what he’s put through prior to that, we have no choice but to sympathise with his killer instinct. They ought to give him a fucking medal for his actions.
The first film was largely responsible for Michael Winner getting his reputation, but the uncut version of DW 2 is even more uncompromisingly brutal with some harrowing, sustained sexual violence, so be warned.
The score by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page is unusual but it fits in a strange way and is a pleasant change from the expected norm.
