Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers ahead. Murphy's Law is a the way fans of Charles Bronson want to see him...kicking ass and not taking anything from anybody. Murphy's Laws is about a cop Jack Murphy (Bronson) who's down on his luck, likes the bottle and wife just left him. All this and he's a guy who's made a lot of enemies in the past and one just got out. One thing leads to another Bronson is framed for the murder of his ex wife and boyfriend and goes on the lamb stuck with a rather annoying punked out female character, who at least has some funny dialogue. Soon Bronson's friends and some others are killed leading him to who the real killer is and Bronson must face her...yes a scary female killer in the final showdown. This is one of Bronsons better films. Who wants to see great acting with Bronson, I want to see scum get blown away and this movie delivers it. I would say there was more then enough action and bit story to keep people happy. Along with that there is plenty of bad language and vile comments for entertainment value. Look for Bronson in the police station when he nails the other cop in the face, great moment. Much of the movie Bronson is stuck with a girl named Arabella, who has one of the foulest mouths one will come across who's gets to trash everyone she comes in contact with. Needless to say I didn't need to even see a hint of a love connection between the two. Bronson is way old and she is ugly, so luckily that was not pursued in depth. Overall I enjoyed this movie, although it does not have the action level of Death Wish 3, it packs enough of a punch for a Bronson fan. Overall 8 out of 10 stars. Don't mess With Bronson!
