You have to wonder what was going through Charles Bronson's mind when he accepted roles in dreadful stuff like KINJITE, THE EVIL THAT MEN DO and 10 TO MIDNIGHT. Money, probably. All J. Lee Thompson jobs, by the way. All Cannon jobs too, if I'm not mistaken. All 1980s putrescence. Maybe this was all the work old J. Lee could get by then, but I can't believe this was true for Bronson. This one outdoes the other two films cited above. Rapes, tortures, repugnant violence. And some xenophobia thrown in for good measure, not to be seen again in such vulgar terms until BLACK RAIN with Michael Douglas. KINJITE is not exactly DIRTY HARRY. But then, what is? It seems this trio of Bronson films, which came out in 1983, 1984 and 1989, tried to outdo each other in their repellent deeds and marked brutality.
