Death Wish 3

Paul Kersey returns to New York City to visit an old friend, only to find him dying after a beating by a street gang. The police arrive at that moment and take Kersey in on suspicion of murder. Facing a cellmate who becomes a lasting enemy and a neighborhood held in fear by Manny Fraker's gang, Kersey is offered a way out: a police inspector who knows his reputation releases him in exchange for help in cleaning up the area. Kersey moves into his dead friend's apartment and takes the fight to the gang.
