Variety
What raises Death Wish 4 above the usual blowout is a semi-engaging script and sure pacing by veteran action director J. Lee Thompson. - 60
Time Out
Gail Morgan Hickman's complicated script manages a couple of nice twists, but it's too formulary to pursue the ambiguities it reveals. Most enjoyable is the clear thread of self-parody, which keeps the laughs and bullets coming thick and fast. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Death Wish 4 may be preposterous, but on the level of technique it's a solid textbook example of crisp exploitation picture craftsmanship. Thompson clearly takes pleasure in setting up every scene with maximum economy and impact, and his work is that of a professional without apologies. - 50
The New York Times
Death Wish 4 is as efficient and predictable as Kersey himself, and inoffensive as long as you can root for a sociopathic hero. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
No one was exactly clamoring for this one, and Bronson has vowed it will be the last Death Wish. - 25
Washington Post
This time around, there's barely any plot, just excuses for Bronson to blow people away.
