The writer/director John Flynn didn't make a lot of standout films but this and Rolling Thunder are probably his best. Using the same source material as Point Blank. Flynn put together a tough exciting and very will made crime film with an excellent cast.
Starting with the idea of teaming up Robert Duvall and John Don Baker as a couple of bank robbers who accidentally rob a bank owned by the mob. The film kicks into gear with a lot of great scenes and action. The film has a list of character actors and in particular film noir character actors that make it really fun to watch for the film buff.
The action is clean and fast, no slow motion, no buckets of blood flowing out of someone's gunshot wound and no scenes with characters being shot with thousands of bullets who are then still walking around as in the John Woo films The Killer and Hard Boiled.
A very good film.
86 minutes, screenplay by John Flynn.
