Death Wish. 1974.
Charles Bronson teams up with Michael Winner in this violent 70s thriller, Bronson plays your idyllic neighbour who becomes a vigilante after his wife and daughter are attacked in their own home. This was a very simple story and it panders to our base instincts which is probably why it was successful. The story then slows down as we see the transformation of the husband, from conscientious objector to vigilante. When Charles Bronson hits the streets, the film picks up big time.
