5.0 out of 5 stars One of Bronson's best 20 Aug 2009
By David TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Violent City is one of the best Charles Bronson films. Bronson plays Jeff a hitman who is betrayed and left for dead. Needless to say it takes more than a few bullits to keep him down and he is soon seeking revenge on the man who shot him. However this is only the beginning of the plot. I won't go into any more plot detail and ruin your enjoyment of this film. The cast is top notch and includes Bronson's wife Jill Ireland and Telly Savalas (Kojak, On Her Majesty's Secret Service) as the mob boss. There is also a very good score by Ennio Morricone who scored a number of Italian Giallo films.

Blue Underground have done a fantastic job remastering the print and presenting it fully uncut. Although most of the film is in English language some scenes which were omitted from English language prints are in Italian language (they were never dubbed into English) but this does not spoil the film. These scenes are subtitled in English. The print is full 2.35 widescreen and is up to Blue Undergrounds usual high standard. The special features include an interview with Director Sergio Sollima who also co wrote the film, a trailer and a poster and still gallery. The dvd is region 0 coded and should work on most dvd players.

If you are a fan on Bronson then this Blue Underground release is the one to buy as it puts the other dvd releases of this film to shame. Thank you for reading my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Violent City 1 Mar 2010
By Geoffrey Noble
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Can't add much to the above reviews, which I fully endorse. This film has high production values and boasts a 'stonking' music score by Ennio Morricone. I owned the soundtrack before actually seeing the film in the 70's. Well directed by Sergio Sollima and if you like Bronson plus his missus (the late Jill Ireland), you should not miss this movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars the violent city of sergio sollima 6 Dec 2009
By Graham Cookson
Format:DVD
well if your a fan of charles bronson i can personaly say this is one of his best films from spaghetti western director sergio sollima who made the best non leone films the big gundown with lee van cleef face to face with gian maria volonte and william berger tomas milian and run man run also with milian all with scores by ennio morricone . well this film stars bronson as a hitman in a love triangle with his real life wife jill ireland and telly savalas who gives a great performance as a mob boss . the action and fight scenes are very realistic also the car chase at the opening is well orchestrated and for ennio morricone fans his score is very dramatic and unforgetable . i dont want to give to much away but the assasanation scene in the glass lift is probably one of the most suspensful and executed moments ever put on the silver screen.
