Viewing Notes
Catching with more Walter Hill, when Hill was making some damn cool flicks like this one. Bronson & Coburn are a great duo. Nice supporting role by Strother Martin and generally good round up of character actors including one of my favorites, Robert Tessier. Highly recommended for Hill fans. Interesting to see this so soon after Hill’s most recent film, Bullet to the Head. Hill has a knack for the anti-hero. Bronson is such a badass too. Stating the obvious, I know.
