Violent City Reviews:
It Was The Best Of Times....
2009-12-17 - I am repeatedly drawn to this movie over and again.....not because it has one of he best plots of any of Charles' movies (right up there with Red Sun, etc),but becaseu I feel like both Charles and Jill were at their peak in this film...in 1970 she was 34, he was 49, both of their bodies were in fabulous shape, their marriage was fresh and happy and it shows on them (the walk thru the markets on St Thomas in the beginning of the film are akin to watching a home movie of them together...)I have always thought that, as a couple, they made a marvelously incongruent pair...she with her tinny little-girl voice and toney accent and cool blonde looks, and he, with his incredibly masculine, feral looks (I know you men are probably groaning at this and thinking "Charles, sexy???"...but believe it, because his face bore the sadness of his childhood and the pride of a man that knew that, with unconventional Russian features, he must make the best of his physique....and he did just that.The contrast of the coupling was fascinating. He once told he that she was "his blonde goddess", and as far away from any image of his childhood coalmining town. This film is a must for a truly concise Bronson collection, for it will enable you to simply travel back to 1970 and see him at a very successful, happy time in his life, while also seeing a nifty noir drama with very 1970's screechy-spagetti-western music. I love it. I had to have it. Try it. You'll see a side of him you likely have never seen.

Thrilling Eurocrime!
2009-09-11 - Excellent story, entertaining action, and Telly Savalas freshly shaven all over, how could you go wrong?? I didn't even mention CHarles Bronson yet! Great movie all around, story especially. Going into it I read the back of the dvd and thought, alright, it's a Bronson, sounds pretty basic but should be cool. It is way more than that. THis is a gem. Very creative story for those that can appreciate it! Own it!

Classic Bronson
2009-06-22 - First time viewing this film and loved it. Yes, there is some dubbing issues and you will have to read some subtitles, but I thought it made this movie seem more spagetti-ish. I LOVED it. If you like the best Bronson movies out there, you will dig this one too. Take my word for it.

This is "The Family" re-titled...
2005-12-29 - First I want all Bronson fans to know that this movie was originally out as "The Family" back in the 70's! I had been looking for Bronson in "the Family" for a while, when a friend told me the plot of this one and I immediately realized it was "The Family"! Why the studio re-titled it is unknown to me and I believe will only confuse Bronson fans looking for this title. The movie itself is classic Bronson fare and if you're a fan who has not seen it, you will enjoy it. Good Bronson action with witty Bronson one-liners. Hey, Telly Savalas is in it too- what more can you ask for!

Bad one for Charlie
2005-11-16 - Charles Bronson is one of my favorites, but VIOLENT CITY is example of 70's trash at it's worst.
Boring slow pacing and a "see-saw" action that gets old really fast.
Bronson's character is so stupid acting in this film for a hitman that you wish he would get killed off himself.

I love Charles Bronson... but this is one of his dud films !
