Death Wish (1974)
Removed from Michael Winner's hack directorial hands and placed in the control of a Donald Siegal(preferrably), Sam Peckinpah(preferrably), Ted Post or Walter Hill(2nd stringers), this film could have become the classic urban crime noir film that would have propelled Charles Bronson into the A list of world film stars, rather than pushing him ever deeper into grade B action flicks. Winner chose to stay in the moment(early 70s angst) rather than push the boundaries and make this the bloody urban nightmare it could have become.
