To me, the movie felt like a fan tribute film to the late actor. Tons of cheesy CGI and and effects in this film. The acting in this film is a tad better than what we saw in previous Bronzi films, with Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs added to the cast. With him being a recognizable face from Welcome Back Kotter and other TV shows from the past, it brought some credibility to the film. Even the character in this movie goes by "Kovac" which is the same last name of a character that Charles Bronson played in a show called "Man With a Camera." You even see it at the end of the film when the character that Bronzi plays makes the same hand gesture that Paul Kersey makes at the end of the 1st Death Wish film. This is one of those films that you could watch once, but will not want to watch it again. A better effort than others from the production team, but nothing that you could call "great."

Robert Bronzi (Death Kiss) is back in another low-rent 80's style action flick & it's damn good fun.

Charles Bronson lookalike Bronzi plays Mike Kovacs a foreign man in America to find out why his brother died & it leads him to a drugs smuggling operation & into the prison system. Bronzi is sent into a deadly prison as an undercover informant for the US government & must face the brutality of it's corrupted guards & evil warden. Death Block 13 is a prison action film crafted in the style of those Awesome old school one's we grew up watching on video like Tango & Cash & Fortress & Lock-up & Death Warrant, but this one is made on a very tiny budget. The effects are ridiculously cheap & tacky & the fight scenes are slow & bizarre just like most of the weird characters here but it's fun in it's cheap grindhouse type of way. I couldn't help but enjoy it's craziness. Of course this isn't as good as the blood soaked Masterpiece Death Kiss but it's still a fun retro action flick.

Director Gary Jones is a great movie Director within the low-budget B-movie genre & has gave us such Awesome gems as SPIDERS (a Favourite of mine) & CROCODILE 2: DEATH SWAMP (Great Sequel) & MOSQUITO (a Cult Classic B-movie) & he's done alot more good work in T. V & other flicks but those three films are GREAT Creature Feature B-movies.

Often the Audio isn't very good in the prison scenes but it's forgiven for what director Gary Jones (Spiders) managed to pull off on an obvious small budget. Bronzi is good at just looking tough & looking like Bronson & carries himself like an old school 80's action hero. There's some cheesiness of course but the action scenes are decent & the action-packed & bloody prison escape last act is well worth the wait. The big muscled bald guy called Bunyan is decent along with Bronzi & i liked the 80's retro feel to it all. The score is really good also. Other actors throughout are crappy but that really doesn't matter in a cheap action flick like this. I got 80's action vibes from Death Block 13 so it done it's job in my opinion. Bronzi does have a strong screen presence & is a perfect low-budget, B-movie old skool Action hero & i hope he has a good career ahead.

A low-budget Action B-movie that is bloody good fun.

I'm looking forward to more Bronzi action flicks.

My brother is mentally challenged. At his school they make a play each year. All of those kids are more talented than all of the actors in this movie. It's sad that money was spent to make this. It's the cultural equivalent of dumping trash in a park.
