“Mr. Majestyk” (weird spelling) is a pretty entertaining film about a wronged guy getting his own back. It stars Charles Bronson, who has already proven he can play it perfectly in the sort of film about a wronged guy getting his own back in titles such as “Death Wish”.

In this film, a farmer by the name of Majestyk (Bronson) only cares about his melon farming and he doesn’t want no trouble from anybody but when he gets arrested for merely defending himself, he finds himself crossing paths with a hitman (Al Lettieri “The Godfather”). Soon his whole livelihood and even his life are put in jeopardy so Majestyk intends to fight back.

Charles Bronson is great as always. He’s a likeable guy but you can you feel the toughness radiate from him. Bronson always has a way with his delivery of lines and “Mr. Majestyk” is no exception. I can’t think of anybody that would be better for this sort-of role and without Bronson, this film just wouldn’t work. The bad guy is alright but nothing special. The interaction between Majestyk and the villain isn’t anything fantastic. None of the other characters are that great, which is a bit of a shame.

I like “Mr. Majestyk” because of Bronson’s performance and the action sequences; some of the shootouts and car chases are quite impressive and I even like the concept of an action film about a melon farmer. It’s not quite as good as the first “Death Wish” because it’s less believable and less powerful but I do think if you like that film or some of Bronson’s other action films, you will enjoy “Mr. Majestyk”. If you’re not a big Bronson fan then I think you may still get a kick out of it but there’s a chance you just won’t get what’s so great about it.
