Death Wish
Charles Bronson's Wife & Daughter are attacked and fed up with the lack of Police response, he becomes a Vigilante and becomes a hero for the public but not with the Police. Jeff Goldblum has an early role in this interesting Film with a shock that he didn't get revenge on the main villains.
Taken 2
Liam Neeson and Famke Jansson are this time kidnapped by the Father of a man Neeson killed in the original. Maggie Grace also returns and this time is throwing Grenades in Istanbul without any blowback. It's not bad but it was very unlikely, it would match the 1st one.
Death Wish 2
Charles Bronson's Daughter is attacked again and this time dies along with the Housekeeper by more Hoodlums (This time includes Lawrence Fishburne) and again this makes him return as a Vigilante. Rather similar to the 1st and is decent.
Cohen & Tate
Roy Schider and Adam Baldwin are a mismatched pair of Hit Men who have to bring a 9 year old witness to the Mob. Rather entertaining little film which was shorter that I thought it would be.
Kickboxer II: Road Back
Sasha Mitchell is the younger Sloane Brother who is forced into fighting Tong Po who kills his friend in order to regain his honor. A very entertaining sequel which also sees the return of Xien.
For anyone who has seen this, one plot hole which blooming annoys me is the fact that Tong Po was able to stroll into a professional Kickboxing Ring for a sanctioned event and literally beat someone badly without being stopped by Police and/or security.
