[8/10 · 9 August 2005]

This is another great Bronson film, that's very entertaining, with memorable performances and an awesome ending!. the 2 main characters were great, and i really dug the awesome chemistry between Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent, plus Charles Bronson is simply amazing in this!.The plot while simple is very cool and effective, and i thought it was really slick overall, plus the ending is a knockout!. It's not action packed or anything like that however it works a lot on character development and the story is quite engrossing, plus it was very well made as well!. It had quite a few shocking scenes, and this is one of Bronson's best films, plus as usual with Bronson's films it caused a bit of controversy and that's always awesome!. This is another great Bronson film that's very entertaining, with memorable performances and a great ending, i highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good. Michael Winner does a very good job here, with very solid camera work, great angles, and keeping the film at a fast pace!. The Acting is excellent!. Charles Bronson is AMAZING as he always,was and was amazing here, he is very likable, smart, witty, had awesome chemistry with Jan-Michael Vincent, and played his usual amazing silent gruff character!(Bronson Ruled!). Jan-Michael Vincent is excellent as the cocky young protégé, he was perfectly casted, had awesome chemistry with Bronson and just did an excellent job overall i liked him lots!.Jill Ireland is stunningly gorgeous and does okay in her scene. Rest of the cast do okay. Overall i highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
