(Flash Review)
Bronson plays an intellectual hitman or "mechanic" in his world. I love how there is virtually no dialog for the first 15 minutes. Just Bronson doing his thing. When dialog comes, it is surprisingly clever, smart and purposeful. He is hired to take out an old family friend and later that man's son and he connect due to a strange mutual respect and Bronson educates and trains him into being a mechanic. The people that rely on his 'services' become unsettled with his new partner and then he is given a job that must be completed more swiftly than usual, against his liking, he must complete it to settle them down. Will they pull it off or will any surprise wrinkles pop up? This was much better than I expected. Good tension and a pretty engaging story with nice details of their profession. Bronson was a cool dude in the 70s.
