I agree. The OP totally has a point. This movie is boring and I blame Michael Winner. His rich-boy pretentiousness really sticks out in this one and he's trying to be too artsy-fartsy "look what a creative director I am" with all those ridiculous zoom-ins that are right out of episodic television establishing shots and the silly shots in a mirror and through a light bulb. Only Michael Winner can make Charles Bronson boring, and he managed it nicely in this. It has nothing to do with this being a "movie of the 70s" - just watch Mr. Majestyk or other 70s action like Dirty Harry - they aren't boring and there's plenty of character development in them.
