gavin6942 A brutal Los Angeles police Lt. (Charles Bronson) is determined to bust up an organization that forces underage girls into prostitution.The movie marks the ninth and final collaboration between Bronson and director J. Lee Thompson. Beginning with the movie "St. Ives" in 1976, their partnership spanned nearly thirteen years. I am sad to say they did not end on a high note.Although there are good parts of the film, it lacks an overall punch. The opening scene, busting in on a prostitute and her john, that grabs your attention. But then it becomes a film that tends to stereotypically anti-Japanese. I'm sad to see Bronson's character suddenly dislike all Japanese because of an incident with his daughter.

AaronCapenBanner Charles Bronson plays an L.A. police Lt. named Crowe whose teenage daughter was molested on a subway train by a visiting Japanese businessman, though the tables are turned when that same businessman's daughter is kidnapped by a pimp named Duke, and sold into child slavery. So of course Crowe,(who hates the Japanese) is assigned to the case, not knowing that it was this very businessman who touched his daughter. Crowe is determined to break up the slavery ring, and get Duke, not matter the cost.Mostly routine film does have some ironic aspects to it that don't pay off, merely plot contrivances. Not really as offensive as it sounds, but still a lurid and sad look at this vile industry. Final scene is certainly memorable, though you may wonder if Crowe went too far...

ebiros2 Kinjite is actually a Japanese martial arts terminology meaning "Forbidden Technique". Something that's so ruthlessly potent that it is forbidden from usage.Well, we have Golan-Globus production action movie featuring Charles Bronson. If you haven't seen Charles Bronson's earlier movies, and seen this, you'd think he's another B movie actor. I have nothing against Golan-Globus films. They put out some good action movies during the '80s starring other luminaries such as Chuck Norris and Sho Kosugi. But this movie is bit below Charles Bronson's acting capability. The movie itself is not bad. It's about par for other Canon film's production of the time, and is quite entertaining to watch.So I'm ambivalent about this movie. If you came to see a Canon film movie, you came to the right place, but if you came to see a Charles Bronson film, you might be disappointed.Cinematography is very good as is in most of Golan-Globus produced films. Each scene is crisp and clean with beautiful colors.Bottom line is, this is above average action movie of the genre, and worth watching if you like '80s style action movies.

ma-cortes This thrilling picture titled Kinjite (which means "to forbid" in English) contains suspense , noisy action-packed , intrigue , thrills and lots of violence . The meaning and relevance of this movie's title is that it refers to subjects such as sex, child molesting, prostitution which are forbidden topics in Japanese culture . It deals with the cop Lt. Crowe (Charles Bronson , he was about sixty-seven years of age) who takes on a pimp (Juan Fernandez) and a slimy hoodlum (Sy Richardson) whose speciality is recruiting adolescents including the daughter of a Japanese business man (James Pax). The lieutenant married to Kathleen (Peggy Limpton) has a teenager girl (Amy Hathaway) and is helped by another policeman (Perry Lopez). He then stalks the baddies and takes the law into his own hands , acting as judge , jury and executioner ; searching vengeance on crooks , pimps making the neighborhood safer and bumping off delinquents and street scum.This standard Bronson movie is full of action , thrills, and disturbing scenes . Bronson in his usual stoic acting displays efficiently his weapons such as ¨Harry the Dirty¨ and killing mercilessly nasties . This is the last movie Charles Bronson made for Cannon Films and it represents the tenth and final of ten teamings between producer Pancho Kohner and star actor Bronson . It's certainly thrilling , though the morality may be questionable , even in this time, as the spectators were clearly on the Lt. Crowe Bronson's side . Disagreeable scenes and loathing theme as abuse of children with terrible end . Screen debut from Baywatch's Nicole Eggert as a teen prostitute and Danny Trejo as an inmate in a final brief appearance -almost extra- . Unappropiated and anti-climatic musical score composed by means of synthesizer . The fare was badly directed by J. Lee Thomson , in his last one , he previously had a nice track record in the English cinema from 1950 until 1961 , directing good Western (McKenna's gold , White Buffalo) and all king genres as Sci-Fi (Conquest and Battle of planet of apes), terror (reincarnation of Peter Proud, Eye of the devil), adventures (Flame over India ,Kings of the sun, Taras Bulba , Tiger Bay) and Warlike (Guns of Navarone, Von Braun , Chairman , The passage) . His two biggest successes turned out to be ¨Guns of Navarone¨and ¨Cape Fear¨. Thereafter , the filmmaker's career subsided in a morass of slickly realized but middling films . He moved into the field of international spectaculars , at which point his filmmaking seemed to lose its individuality . J. Lee Thompson working from the 50s in England, finished his career making Chuck Norris (Firewalker) and Charles Bronson vehicles (Caboblanco, Evil that men do , Messenger of death, Death Wish 4 : Crackdown, Caboblanco, St Ives). Rating : Below average . Lousy results for this disagreeable thriller that has many depressing failures.
