Unlike "Death Wish 3" and "Death Wish 4:The Crackdown", I enjoyed that movie when I watched it.It's a very silly movie that never takes itself seriously and possibly that's the reason I wasn't disappointed like I did with the 2 movies I just mentioned.
It's not as good as "Murphy's Law", not even close, but it's very far from being Bronson's worst 80's starring vehicle.It's a very solid and fast movie that gives you a feeling that you watched a movie shorter than 60 minutes.
The action scenes are unrealistic.Both the good and the bad guys seem to be bullet-proof... but that's better than other movies(Lethal Weapon) were the bad guy always miss and the good guy never does.
In this movie appears Billy Hayes the real person whose story became the great movie called "Midnight Express" . As I said, it's a silly -probably intentionally silly- and cartoonish movie that never pretends to be a good or serious movie.I found it very entertaining.It gave me 80 minutes of pleasure.

This is probably Bronson's worst Cannon movie. I'm not 100% sure yet, I'd have to watch Messenger of Death again, but I remember liking it, whereas this was only OK entertainment. It's not very memorable, except for the scenes where Bronson uses a rocket launcher. He and his wife Jill Ireland have good chemistry in this one. I have to say she looked beautiful for being in her 50's at that time.
There's a contrived love-interest story in the movie which is kind of goofy and not very believable. Not that everyone didn't want to bang Charles Bronson no matter how old he was, it just felt very unprofessional for a White House bodyguard to be so desperate to get him in to bed. The actress playing her was pretty awful, too.

The photo of Charles with the shotgun is Mr. Majestic
The move when he had the rocket launchers, (the second one he fired was an empty tube, easy to spot), was The Assassination with his beautiful wife Jill Ireland, she was exquisite.
