watchable enough and for various reason represent who doesn not like to think of put hole in bad guy . who be unamused to see olympia dukakis and christopher guest and paul dooley and the fly in bit part . who can resist the obscene spectacle of charles bronson rude hamburger face perch atop one of the most classically sculpted physique in pre schwarzenegger stardom . but ultimately it a michael winner movie and so and eh . this wildly uneven director ( mechanic and lawman a little good than they oughtta be while nightcomers just irresistibly awful while big sleep largely soporific ) here demonstrate his inability to sustain mood and his lack of interest in coherence and both spatial and logical . mostly he exemplify a bland form of typical british salaciousness . the early rape scene involve bronson daughter be a pretty straight ripoff of the home invasion in clockwork orange from a couple of year previous and but lack the grandeur and morbid humor and and lasting chill of kubrick version . aside from the indifferent direction and there be numerous technical underachievement . most annoying be herbie hancock score and hugely derivative of lalo schifrin cop movie music yet not ever quite interesting . thank god these guy do not get to do french connection .
