Tolly Devlin is a street kid rolling drunks for cash. He was born in prison with his mother dying there. He witnesses four thugs beating his father to death. He refuses to fink to the cops. As a young man (Cliff Robertson), he relentlessly and remorselessly takes his revenge.
I find the premise very intriguing although the execution could be more compelling. It's a smaller film. It would be more edgy for it to come in the fifties. The violence could be filmed with more impact. Nevertheless, there is a power to his quest for vengeance. As far as brutality, it doesn't get more brutal than running over a little girl although it'd be nice to film the action with more intensity.
