fact that charles bronson represents one of the most important movie icons of the 1980s represents one of the biggest and almost tragic ironies of that decade .
tragedy lies in the fact that the icon status was earned less by quality of his work in movies , but the quantity .
most of those movies were produced by cannon group , company led by israeli producers menahem golan and yoram globus .
those two men probably thought that they could be the next roger corman ,
b-
movie mentors of future hollywood legends .
unfortunately , that did n't happened , and when cannon finally went bankrupt at the end of the decade , behind it stood the huge pile of cinematic garbage , that would require at least few centuries before it reaches the camp appeal .
sadly for bronson , that garbage also contained numerous movies in which that capable character actor and action hero of the 1970s tried to raise their worth simply by being the main lead , and lowering his own reputation in process .
on the other hand , bronson could take comfort in a fact that those movies were extremely popular , especially among the audience 3 or 4 times younger than bronson himself .
one of such movies that seriously marred bronson 's reputation is death wish 3 , third sequel in the series which began with death wish in 1974 .
in the original movie , bronson played paul kersey , mild - mannered new york architect who turns into deadly street vigilante after his family fell victim to urban violence .
that movie was far from masterpiece ; yet , in it the director michael winner was skillfully offering the cinematic remedy for very real disease of growing crime rates of the time ( on the same lines like siegel in dirty harry ) .
unfortunately , six years later cannon group got rights to the character of paul kersey and
began destroying it by pumping out sequels ; even the presence of its original director did n't stop the rapid decline of the quality .
death wish 3 begins when kersey comes to visit an old friend , living in the urban wasteland of east new york , populated by young criminals and people too old or too poor to move out .
before the reunion , kersey 's friend falls victim to the street gang led by evil fraker ( played by gavan o'herlihy , probably the only noteworthy role in the film ) .
kersey decides to avenge his death and slowly prepares for his crusade , while the police inspector shriker ( ed lauter ) , ants to use him as a secret weapon in his losing war against the urban crime .
bronson , the main asset in this movie , plays the character who is nothing more than an efficient killing machine .
although bronson 's charisma does help in overcoming some implausibilities
( single man in his 60s and armed with a single pistol manages to wipe out dozens of opponents with superior firepower ) , the lack of emotions or bronson 's own commitment could be seen in a very few lines spoken in a film .
the movie authors were somewhat aware of that emotional shallowness , so they added romantic interest for their hero - public defender played by deborah raffin and conveniently terminated in order to give some more motives for kersey 's crusade .
on the other hand , emotions are much better played by confronting law - abiding , yet ethnically stereotyped citizens with their daily nemesis of street punks - ruthless enough to exercise their reign of terror on the entire city blocks , and stupid enough to be killed in droves by kersey .
unfortunately , michael winner does n't know how to work out the plot , and after torturing the viewers with mostly uninteresting characters and cliched and formulaic situations , ends this movie with a bang .
the big showdown at the end - that turns east new york into the sarajevo - like battle zone - is probably the worst part of the movie , because of the poor editing and the cheap sets and props that give away the low budget .
in short , this movie could be recommended only to the most fanatical charles bronson fans or for the people who are already desperate for 1980s nostalgia .
( special note for trekkies : marina sirtis , the actress who played counsellor deanna troi in star trek : the next generation could be spotted in a small role of portorican wife ) .

the idea at the center of the devil 's advocate , which is , thus far , one of the three or four best films of 1997 , is that no matter what decision is made , evil will triumph -- god is a trickster , satan is a humanist -- " the last humanist " .
he appears in many guises , and seduces many men and women -- in his own words , " vanity -- by far my favorite sin " .
al pacino plays this role with relish , and gets to chew some delectable lines ( " lemme givya a piece o ' inside wisdom on god .
..
" , " i have a million names . .. " ) , as john milton -- the devil .
the main idea -- that he can appear as anyone , in any form ( in this case , a buisness man )
, harkens mainly back to terry gilliam 's the time bandits . but the film ,
is something else , something original .
part of what makes it so very good , is that it never takes itself too seriously -- it dabbles with morality , vanity , death , and child abuse , but does n't try to become any profound study of power .
this is a marvelous confection -- cocky , funny , thought provoking .
it is also entertaining .
there is no way you could possibly predict the ending
-- it pulls back upon itself , drawing purely out of the mind 's eye .
the final shot is more creative , more daring , more challenging , then anything in cinema since the white sock in the coen 's fargo .
the central themes are fascinating ( sometimes reminiscent of james ' the turn of the screw , and oates ' accursed inhabitants of the house of bly ) , and the product that is built around it really wows .
its nice to know that things like this are still being made .

in 1970s , many european intellectuals , especially those on the left political hemisphere , became obsessed with the rise of fascism .
which was n't so hard to expect , because the social turmoil of 1960s and economic decline of 1970s seemed to be the breeding ground for many dangerous ideologies .
in such times , when political involvement could be associated with noble passion , many filmmakers tried to warn the present generations of dangers that lurk ahead by giving the look of pre - war europe and circumstances that led to phenomena like fascist italy and nazi germany .
of course , there were authors who jumped on the bandwagon for other , less noble reasons .
for them , moral depravity of fascism could be explained to the audience by explicitly showing sexual depravity of those era .
which , naturally , made some of those films very popular among teen audience .
one of such filmmakers was italian director tinto brass , who later made career shooting expensive , stylish soft porn .
salon kitty , his 1976 film , is very losely based on the novel by peter nordern , book that deals with bizarre yet true story that took place in the first years of ww2 .
in 1939 , walter schellenberg , one of the heads of nazi intelligence service has set up the elite , exclusive brothel in berlin with clientele comprised of top nazi officials and foreign diplomats .
none of the customers knew that the girls were all nazi agents , and that all the rooms happened to be bugged .
the most bizarre thing is the fact that not even kitty , nominal madame of the brothel , did n't know the real purpose of that enterprise .
screenplay by tinto brass , of course , simplifies the story and changes few names .
schellenberg is now wallenberg ( helmut berger ) , ambitious nazi official who wants to use the brothel in order to blackmail his way to the top .
kitty kellerman ( ingrid thulin ) , apart from being madam , has a second job as a cabaret singer .
caught in the net of depravity is sweet , innocent girl margerithe ( theresa ann savoy ) thrown into brothel .
there she falls in love with customer hans reiter ( bekim fehmiu ) , disenchanted pilot of luftwaffe .
when margerithe discovers that her lover had been executed for defeatist speeches he made in the brothel , she finds out that the place is bugged .
she informs the madam of the real situation , and both women decide to confront wallenberg .
those who tend to bash benigni for exploiting holocaust as the topic of comedy would probably go bananas watching this film , that uses the darkest pages of european history for cheap sexploitation .
but , although salon kitty does n't happen to be anything more than rather more stylish and expensive soft porn ( although not very successful ; some of supposedly erotic scenes are quite unappealing )
, it does try to have more multidimensional characters and even something resembling dramatic conflict - this time between power - hungry and scruples wallenberg and hedonistic womanhood symbolised by kitty .
unfortunately , brass seems to overuse other cinematical references , probably thinking that he could repeat the successful interaction of berger and thulin in luchino visconti 's the damned , but the most noticeable and irritating is ingrid thulin 's unsuccessful attempt to imitate lisa minelli 's musical numbers from cabaret .
all in all , salon kitty is failure , although with some very interesting moments .
