Set in an alternate universe where cinemas only show Cannon films, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown doesn't offer much in the way of threat, inspiration or character. It's purely by the numbers stuff that never threatens to do anything unusual or interesting. Even a scene where the casual labor in a factory fronting for a drug den are offered $1000 to stop Bronson escaping doesn't really go anywhere because that might take too much effort to shoot. This time it's the overdose of latest doomed girlfriend Kay Lenz's daughter that inspires him to bring his guns to town, albeit with some prompting from John P. Ryan's strangely accented millionaire who wants him to move up a grade from wasting muggers to killing off the city's drug dealers. The film's sole concession to originality is that while he's setting up the rival drug gangs, he's being set up himself, but for the most part it's full of discarded ideas and characters, beginning with a dream scene that has virtually no relevance to the rest of the film and completely forgetting about Lenz's character after the first 20 minutes until the finale.
Still, it does have the cult "Making a sandwich" moment and the world's worst exploding Danny Trejo dummy in screen history to briefly liven things up...

This is without doubt the best of the Death Wish series.
A magnificent film without the cartoon characters of the first three films.
I cannot fault this film.
Pure bliss.

Bronson's soon-to-be stepdaughter dies from an overdose. Kersey once again turns vigilante and kills the pusher who gave her the drugs. Once his "work" is done and he heads home, he is blackmailed by a mysterious stranger who knows quite a lot of him. The stranger "hires" Kersey to take out the two main crime syndicates who dominate the drug market in L.A. Kersey then provokes a mob war, to take out the bosses of the syndicates.
Death Wish 4 is a descent action movie, and it's got the "Bronson-bonus". That's all. Clearly the makers realized they could not walk the same path as they did in the first two installments of the series, there would have to be something new. This new approach doesn't quite make it though. Surely the film has its highlights, but it lacks the class of the other films, it simply isn't a "Death Wish". For fans this will be entertaining nevertheless.
