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.

This movie has a few good points and a few flaws as well. It has a fairly decent story line and even better camera work. Scenes with a hand held camera were far better than big budget shaky cam movies. Dialogue had its ups and downs. The acting for the most part was only B rated and needed a lot of work except for Dan Forthright played by Daniel Baldwin. He did a good job delivering his lines, especially the radio dialogue. Robert Bronzi (Robert Kovacs) who plays the stranger looks a little like Bronson and I hope his acting improves with time and experience. The cleavage and bare breast scenes were done modestly and added a little spice to the movie. I like a little gore in a movie, but the exploding blood splatter in this movie were comically obvious. Fans of the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies might get a kick from this one. For a low budget Inde film it's not too bad, 5 of 10.

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

Perez's story is a straightforward tribute to classic vigilante b-movies, most notably a tribute to the "Death Wish" franchise, and original gun carrying bad a** Charles Bronson. Take one part vigilante , add equal parts criminal , uber bad guys and disgusting assaults and atrocious acts against women. ..viola! It is classic and timeless. And just as the films before it, "Death Kiss" serves up an action driven bloodbath.

The film is not without flaws, budget restraints and writing down weaken when pushed further than the cast and production can handle. Luckily dialog is, for the most part, short - to the point, and simple through most of the film. The choice of Daniel Baldwin'so character to handle the real hefty dialog as a bridge between audience and plot details is a smart move, and Baldwin shines. That and the fact that Kovacs is nearly devoid of dialog, letting his actions speak brutally sharp for him creates a nice, and entertaining movie experience.

There are also a few flaws in the effects, again, obvious budget concerns put Perez at a limit of what can be achieved. He does a pretty decent job. Aside from the cheap "buzz kill" moments of CGI blood splatter and barral flashes, "Death Kiss" has some cool practical carnage stuff. Done pretty close to realistic the gore and bloodshed work. The overall effect of the movie is a tight, low-budget indie flick fitting somewhere between crime exploitation and grindhouse action film. Definitely worth checking out if you're a crime thriller, vigilante Bronson fan

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.
