The movie is good proof that even a simple gangster-movie from the 70:s is often better than most of the thrillers done today. Like so many movies from that decade, it focuses on the persons and the plot rather than the pure action. The plot in this movie is too simple and the characters are too one-dimensioned, but the movie is nicely shot and the action-parts are short and powerful. It's great to find these forgotten thrillers from the my favorite movie-decade. And then there is the actors. The cool Robert Duvall plays his character so well so I don't know if I like or dislike him. And last but not least, Jon Don Baker. He should be recognized for his work.
