Firepower (1979)
Director: Michael Winner
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Typically brash and lurid thriller from Winner, which starts off with Loren's chemist husband being blown up as he's on the point of exposing a racket in contaminated drugs. As Loren and an ex-lover (Coburn) try to track down the killers, the film turns into an endless series of noisy, colourful explosions and crashes in glossily picturesque locations. Tiresome.Author: GA
