standard with his DEATH WISH and DEATH SENTENCE (sequel). I
haven't read either (though I do like his work), but
certainly the prominence of the films w/ Charles Bronson
helped established them as such.
As I recall, Garfield was very, very upset that the movie was
pro-vigilante, while his book was anti-vigilante; that is,
the Charles Bronson character was destroyed by his unlawful
actions. Qualifying it for noir, I suppose.
