Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An attempt to out-Dirty Harry that has none of the flair of Siegel's film. Ryan (Duvall), a mean Irish cop who spends his life battling against spics and spades, finds himself suspended for having pushed a guy off a roof when in fact he fell. He hands in his badge but fights on alone, finding a cesspool (the film's definition) of gun-running to Puerto Rico and demos plastered with 'Free Puerto Rico' banners. Koch both produced and directed this ham-fistedly unpleasant film.Author:
