Death Kiss: Directed by Rene Perez. With Robert Bronzi, Daniel Baldwin, Richard Tyson, Eva Hamilton. A vigilante with a mysterious past moves into a city that has been infested with crime and terror. He then takes the law into his own hands so that he could save and protect a young mother and her child.

“Perezu0026#39;s story is a straightforward tribute to classic vigilante b-movies, most notably a tribute to the u0026quot;Death Wishu0026quot; franchise, and original gun carrying bad a** Charles Bronson. Take one part vigilante , add equal parts criminal , uber bad guys and disgusting assaults and atrocious acts against women. ..viola! It is classic and timeless. And just as the films before it, u0026quot;Death Kissu0026quot; serves up an action driven bloodbath.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is not without flaws, budget restraints and writing down weaken when pushed further than the cast and production can handle. Luckily dialog is, for the most part, short – to the point, and simple through most of the film. The choice of Daniel Baldwinu0026#39;so character to handle the real hefty dialog as a bridge between audience and plot details is a smart move, and Baldwin shines. That and the fact that Kovacs is nearly devoid of dialog, letting his actions speak brutally sharp for him creates a nice, and entertaining movie experience. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are also a few flaws in the effects, again, obvious budget concerns put Perez at a limit of what can be achieved. He does a pretty decent job. Aside from the cheap u0026quot;buzz killu0026quot; moments of CGI blood splatter and barral flashes, u0026quot;Death Kissu0026quot; has some cool practical carnage stuff. Done pretty close to realistic the gore and bloodshed work. The overall effect of the movie is a tight, low-budget indie flick fitting somewhere between crime exploitation and grindhouse action film. Definitely worth checking out if youu0026#39;re a crime thriller, vigilante Bronson fan”
