Death Kiss

Yes I know this is meant as a stab at Death Wish ... there's a reason that our main actor looks like Charles Bronson too. His dubbed voice also might remind people of him. And when I say dubbed, I mean in the english and therefor original version of the film.

And while he has the optics of the late great Bronson ... I highly doubt anyone will compare those two in anything else than looks. It almost saddens me to say that I while I really tried to like the low budget nature of this (and there are things to love or hate depending on your own taste, like the CGI blood, the nudity, the violence in general), there is so much wrong with this that I can't really rate this higher.

Yes I am aware that many "classic" movies did not have much more of a story than this has. And maybe for some this will be more than enough ... even the way too long scenes will not bother some ... but if you are honest to yourself ... even with under 90 minutes running time this has more flat moments than .. well you fill in the blank and make it PC or non PC ...

Wow, is what I have to say; good acting and i'm glad that movie was produced, it reminded of a great talent that's been brought to life. This actor is an amazing replica of the late Charles Bronson.....I'd love to see him in more movies. WOW......hard to believe it's not him

The score of 4.6 overall is dead on. I had already decided to give it a 5 before seeing the other scores.

There is a decent amount of killing. Not much of a plot or plot development. Not any real tension in the movie to keep you riveted to the screen. The movie just moseys along from scene to scene with very little development of anything.

Like Death Wish there is a vigilante that kills criminals and low life types. But he has no problem robbing their belongings once he does. And is not worried about collateral damage to those people being abused or threatened as he takes out the bad guys.

A movie like this is only as good as the villain. This is why Avengers hit a home run with Thanos and DC failed miserable with Steppenwolf in Justice League. The main villain in this movie is a joke. Our man is never in any real danger. This makes the ending kind of flat and boring.

I would not recommend this movie unless you have nothing else to watch or do. A walk in the park would be a better time investment.

Oh, and there is some rule in this movie that all female actresses in the movie must bare their chest at least once for no good reason. I kid you not.

Who's Robert Pronzi? I only have two plausible explanations. Or Charles Bronson went to Hungary and had a secret affair over there that resulted in an unwanted child, or a scientist found the way to clone a human and as a huge fan of Charles Bronson he decided to clone his hero. I can't see another explanation for Charles Bronsons' twin. That said, the director Rene Perez saw the same thing and decided to remake the Charles Bronsons' classics Death Wish. Those movies were the revenge movies you had to watch when I was young. They probably didn't age that well but I can't tell you that as I never watched them again. From Death Wish to Death Kiss, Rene Perez doesn't have a big imagination, nor does have he the necessary talent and budget to make a decent movie as Death Kiss is just an abomination compared to Death Wish. The acting from most of the cast is just awful. Only Eva Hamilton was decent with her acting. But the worst parts of this movie are the action scenes, they are amazingly bad, and unfortunately there are a lot of action scenes, what doesn't help in raising the quality of this movie. I'm not sure what Charles Bronson would think if he could have watched this movie, but I'm sure it wouldn't be possitive.

I stumbled upon "Death Kiss" and decided to watch it solely for the reason of the movie's cover/poster. I did watch all the old Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies and enjoyed those - unlike the remake with Bruce Willis.

I like how this movie keeps you in the dark, because you have no idea if this is supposed to be Paul Kerns or not, the character portrayed by Charles Bronson. But the similarities are there in abundance, not only by physical similarity between Charles Bronson and Robert Bronzi.

While the storyline is simplistic in "Death Kiss", it is very true to the storylines in the "Death Wish" movies, as they were also mostly unstructured like this movie, whereas not a whole lot is happening narratively throughout the course of the movie, but it all seems mostly like fragments of action put together for a greater picture.

I was adequately entertained by "Death Kiss" and it was a nice surprise actually. If you enjoyed the old Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies, then you should definitely take the time to watch "Death Kiss" as well.

The movie has an interesting cast. First and foremost, there is Robert Bronzi who not only has an uncanny resemblance to Charles Bronson, but also has a lot of his mannerisms and gestures nailed down in place. It was much like actually watching Charles Bronson on the screen. Daniel Baldwin was actually also doing a good job in the movie, despite having a minor role only. And it was actually fun to see Richard Tyson on the screen again in a villanous role.

All in all, "Death Kiss" is entertaining for what it is. Just don't expect a major drama here with plot hooks, surprises and twists, because that is not in here. This is action, this is homage, this is a trip down memory lane for the most of us.
