Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A routinely spectacular adventure, set in Mexican border country and featuring Bronson as the mastermind behind a series of attempts to spring a framed man from jail. It offers little of substance beyond some fancy stunts, a number of obvious plagiarisms (Chinatown, Charley Varrick, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot), and a strong support cast who deserved better.Author:
