Viewing Notes

Continuing my Bronson Project with another title I had to get from Netflix. And another Bronson/Ireland team-up. Good premise of rescuing a prisoner (Bobby Duvall) on the other side of the Mexican border and failing at those attempts. Good role for Bronson as the pilot hired to do the rescuing even if some of the ideas are ill-advised, esp. the bit with Randy Quaid. Sheree North is a real standout. Maybe the best thing in the entire flick is the propeller kill.
