On the other hand, <i>Deathwish</i> has Bronson going around killing random punks and obviously thinks nothing of it.<br /><br />I <i>should</i> probably take a look at it now; sounds as if I might even enjoy it.<br />Plus: I don't think I've ever seen anything with El Fantasma.houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-4154084520551957962011-02-14T09:28:28.690-08:002011-02-14T09:28:28.690-08:00On a completely unrelated note, I just realized th...On a completely unrelated note, I just realized that, in that picture of El Fantasma with his dunce cap mask on, he looks like one of those M.U.S.C.L.E. figures from the 80s.

And I have to admit that starting out as a standard, moralizing cop-pushed-to-the-edge drama and then flipping the perspective like that is kind of brilliant. Perhaps I should give the makers of this movie some credit and allow for the possibility that they did that intentionally? I dunno. Maybe you'll watch this one and weigh in with your opinion.
