once again bronson talent be mostly waste on this shock value 1984 thriller which ( uncut ) be far more disturbing than most of what be out even today . the fact that the evil that men do be very disturbing ( in it verbal and visual depiction of torture ) be not the problem . it be the shameless gratuity in which it be present . interestingly and this film seem to symbolize that latter part of bronson career in which he have torture many of his fan with the same egregiously predictable and uncreative plot . one hop this fine actor will rise again .
