The Outfit (1973)
8/10
Following in the footsteps of Point Blank
23 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A good outing for Duvall, who plays a bank-robber newly released from prison, seeking blood money from the Mafia for the death of his brother in a bank raid on a Mafia-owned bank. Together with buddy Joe Don Baker, another old partner in crime, they set off on the trail, acquiring a car, guns and a girl friend for Robert Duvall on the way. Level by level, they wreak a trail of havoc as they shoot their bloody way through the layers of underlings towards Mr Big.

As in all movies in this vein - Point Blank, Payback - the Mafia boss chooses to ignore Duvall's demands for the modest amount of money he wants, despite the mounting body count. Until finally, Duvall and Baker break through the security around the mob bosses' house and then it's payback time.

I eagerly await the release of this great movie on DVD.
