A fun Charles Bronson movie!, 30 November 1999
10/10
Author: Rubbed Raw from Winnipeg, Canada

This movie is just plain fun. It mixes a sense of humour with its action, not unlike television shows Simon and Simon and Magnum P.I.. And it's classy. I don't know why it hasn't found a wider audience. Check it out - but don't expect brutal violence.
