i picked this up thinking it'd be just another 70s bronson vigilante film cause it was directed by michael winner but it was a lot more interesting then that. more character driven then some action pieces.

Death Wish
is a slightly more interesting movie for a few reasons, but
The Mechanic
is a better film overall.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

The story is interesting and the violence is rather toned down.

I can understand why you would say this, those two films are probably his best and its hard to place which is number one. But I would have to disagree with you. Death Wish was the right movie at the right time. The Mechanic is a movie that can be done again, but something like Death Wish could only be done in the 1970s in NYC. These days the whole mugging apsect is a little different and plus movies today are more careful with certain race issues.

I personally think this film is Bronson's best.
