DVD Reviews of Mr Majestyk
DVD Review: Mr.Master
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr.Majestyk is Charles Bronson..the coolest guy on the planet. Although his movie "Hard Times"is the best I've seen,this movie can compete. Mr.Majestyk comes back from doing military service and settles into this small town in the south and gradually starts a watermellon busness. The movie begins at a gas station site where he meets a beautiful mexican woman whom eventually becomes his companion. The woman is denied the use of the toilet room by the gas attendant,but when the coolest guy on earth observes the dilemma,he intervenes and guess what?,the woman uses the ladies room with no problem! Later in the movie he clashes with a well known mobster. And guess who ends up ahead. This movie has alot of action and suspense,if your a fan of Bronson,this one you do not want to miss.

Summary: 4 Stars
Love Bronson's laid back style and tolerance against injustice, but will only take so much before letting rip. And when he does "lose it" you had better not be on the receiving end. Excellent Classic movie.DVD Review: GREAT MOVIE

DVD Review: Bronson gets payback for the great watermelon slaughter
Summary: 3 Stars
Charles Bronson plays Vince Majestyk, a melon farmer who simply wants to pick his crop and live in peace. A tough and somewhat cynical man, he was a soldier, did time in prison, and went through a rough divorce. He and his immigrant workers are hassled by a small time crook. A scuffle with the crook lands him in jail where he encounters a hit man for the mafia (Frank Renda - played perfectly by a chubby Al Lettieri - `The Turk' Sollozo from The Godfather). Renda and Majestyk don't seem to hit it off, and the rest of the film's action centers around Renda and his gang of thugs efforts to kill Majestyk. In typical Bronson fashion, Majestyk tries to just live his life in peace, but when Renda won't let him, Bronson is going to show him who is boss. This is standard Bronson fare: innocent man wronged kicks some serious butt. The great melon slaughter is probably the most famous scene of this movie (a big pile of watermelons gets shot up by Lettieri's thugs with submachineguns - worth the price of admission on its own!). Definitely has the feel of a 70s B grade action/adventure story. Check out the newspaper article next to the phone about the gasoline crisis - definitely dates the film! Not uniquely outstanding and well short of Bronson's best (like Breakheart Pass or Chato's Land), but if you can ignore the plot holes big enough to drive several trucks through, this is a fairly entertaining film.
Description of Mr Majestyk
Cinema's most rugged tough guy, Charles Bronson, threads his uncompromising coolness through a tight weave of car chases, shootouts and bare-knuckle brawling in this gritty, forceful action film (LA Herald-Examiner)! Bronson stars as Majestyk, an ex-con and Vietnam vet whose efforts to run a farm are thwarted by narrow-minded locals and corrupt cops. But when a Mafia hitman (Al Lettieri) destroys Majestyk's crop, the farmer's fuse is finally blown. With his rifle in hand and his girlfriend (Linda Cristal) at the wheel, he goes after the syndicate assassin. And from high-speed back-road chases to an explosive backwoods confrontation, mobster and maverick stalk each other: two of a kind, antagonists to the death.Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson) absolutely has to get his watermelon crop in, come hell or high water, and nothing in the world is going to stop him. Trouble comes, however, in the form of Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo), who tries to force Majestyk to use a crew of winos rather than Majestyk's hand-picked migrant crew. After Majestyk cleans his clock, Kopas swears out an assault complaint, and soon the melon grower finds himself in the county lockup. In jail he meets hit man Renda (Al Lettieri), and the two regard each other with hostility and suspicion. In a segment worthy of action director John Frankenheimer, Renda's pals try to break him out of a prison bus in a street shootout. Instead, Majestyk commandeers the bus and drives off with Renda, with the intention of using him as a pawn to get the charges dropped on himself.so he can get his melon crop in, of course. The script for Mr.?Majestyk was written by none other than Elmore Leonard himself, and the rhythms of his hard-bitten prose are clear throughout. As expected with a Leonard story, there are plenty of plot flip-flops and more than a little tongue-in-cheek humor (the flinty Bronson even gets a few of the good lines). A word of warning: Vegetarians and those with sensitive temperaments may be disturbed by the machine-gun slaughter of hundreds of defenseless watermelons, in one of the movie's more sublime scenes. It's not great stuff, but Mr.?Majestyk is a fast-moving '70s action flick that doesn't take itself too seriously and isn't above a blithely ridiculous plot device or?two. --Jerry Renshaw
