Great movie!, Feb 24 2007
This review is from: Death Hunt (DVD)
For all the Bronson and Marvin fans...This is a classic. A very good action movie to watch , with a good transfer on dvd. The sound and the photography is realy good...For a 25 years movie. Lee Marvin is especially good.

Too real to be slick or polished, Jun 30 2003
Another reviewer has averred that this is the best of Bronson & Marvin's careers; I'm not sure I agree, but it's certainly on the short list. I'd begin by noting the factual basis - and the working-class focus. Many of the characters in the movie are obviously machismo-deluded jerks who have fled civilization to find an environment that won't expose their incompetence - this remark does NOT include the characters played by Bronson and Marvin. That said, I'll admit the direction is rough - but the story is rough, and the way it is told is not implausible. The continuity favors a distance of view that makes the story's factual basis more apparent. More than one reviewer has made plain the fact that he or she missed the respect and sympathy that Marvin's character feels for the man he is pursuing. See the movie - see if you don't agree with him.

Don't mess with Bronson's dog!, Mar 3 2003
Bronson's back! This time his role is similar to the one he had in Chato's Land; A guy pursued by an angry mob wanting him dead, dead, Dead! Naturally, because he's Bronson, they don't have the easiest time trying to get him. These guys should have never shot his newfound dog friend, coz after that, all hell breaks loose. The plot is nothing new, it's been done many times before(usually with more style), but this one is exceptional because of the cast. Aside from Chuck, you have tough guy Lee Marvin, Apollo Creed(Carl Weathers who's always a joy), would-be Luke Skywalker-Andrew Davis, the "dude" talking cop from Death Wish 3, and the scary "Buffalo Woman." And to answer some of your questions, Peter Hunt(the director) was the editor of practically every James Bond film, and the director of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He passed away recently.
