Death Kiss

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.

Death Kiss stars the Charles Bronson lookalike, Robert Kovacs, a.k.a. Bronzi, and you can see why he's been given the nickname. He not only has the look, but the mannerisms of Bronson, which make the film work. I found myself smiling while watching Kovacs roam the mean streets, with the 80's style score accompanying him. He's out looking for trouble, and he certainly finds plenty of it...thugs, drug dealers and pedophiles, and he doesn't mind taking out the trash. Lots of blood to go round and plenty of action that will please a fan of the 80's stlye Bronson films like Death Wish and The Evil that Men do. There are some minor distractions in the film that I'm not even going to list, because based on budget and how much the director contributed to this film, as far as directing and providing the score, I think those involved did a solid job of bringing back something to life that will certainly please. Bronzi, Baldwin, Tyson and the small part by Stormi Maya were standouts to me. Dive in to this film expecting lots of blood, mayhem and of course...fun.

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've never seen this actor before this movie and I will admit that I was drawn to it by its poster. I thought that I was seeing Charles Bronson. but I saw the date 2018 and frowned. I love Charles Bronson especially the 70's and 80's movies so I assumed that this was a documentary. Robert Kovacs resemblance with the late actor is uncanny and pays a great homage to the Bronson legacy of vigilante/dark justice movies. Not only does he look like him he acts like him as well. I enjoyed it and made me remember the Bronson movies.

After reading some of the reviews I'm not sure what people expected from this movie! It's a fun retro-throwback action film with lots of gore, synth music, and sexy ladies. I'm not sure what else you could want from a movie in this genre but in my opinion this movie delivers on what it advertises.
