Storyline
Did you know
- Alternate versionsThe American video release from 1982 by Video Gems is a heavily-censored television version of the film. All instances of nudity and most of the violence has been removed with additional moments added to pad out the running time. The opening credits sequence now includes footage shot in 1979 and the opening attack now appears completely off-screen, which means Jeanne Lange's brief role is now almost entirely missing yet she is still credited.
- ConnectionsReferenced in San Babila: 8 P.M. (1976)

gritty thriller
Gritty thriller.
Underrated detective film about an experienced cop on the edge of retiring who is trying to solve one more case before his career is all over. John Marley is excellent in the lead. The supporting cast is also quite good.
This film's not particularly well shot. I think this adds to the grittiness of the look. That being said, this film would have benefited from better cinematography. I enjoyed the sound track. The film kept my attention the whole time. I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you can find it!
