Non-Cannon ~ Episode 1 - Death Wish (1974)

*Apologies for the sound recording. There was a microphone issue*



The special surprise we teased from last week is here. From now on, the Cannon Cruisers will be running special episodes here and there featuring films not centered on Cannon films. We're doing it for two reasons. The first is that Cannon made many sequels to certain film series, but not the originators. The second is that we might sometimes feel like a break from the Cannon material and want to do something different. This week we tackle the original Death Wish.

We were quite impressed with this 70s classic as a film that (with Dirty Harry) helped lay the groundwork for the 80s action film, including the entries in the series that Cannon made. As a movie about a man who lost it all and fights to destroy what destroyed him, it is a fantastic film.

If you have not seen this movie yet, it is highly, highly recommended.

Randy's Score: 4/5
JD's Score: 5/5


Up Next: Death Wish II
