I have been waiting for this motion picture to hit blu-ray for years and I wasn't disappointed. This is a gritty classic and truly unique from the Hollywood blockbuster hokum you get today. Real stars, great script, unbearable tension and very violent. You need this film in your collection.
This review is from Prime Cut [Blu-ray] [1972]

Good “old school” Lee Marvin mob movie with Gene Hackman.

A movie like this would be difficult to duplicate for its release from the 1970's. A blend of crime drama, cornball humor, and Western shoot-ups; Lee Marvin's Nick is a mob enforcer from Chicago set to have Hackman's redneck thug in Missouri pay the outfit 50K or die. Rescuing a young girl (Spacek) from human trafficking, the movie plays on with shoot-ups and chatter that seem more silly than serious. The movie is good for fans of the actors but feels like just about any crime-action film.
