Nice... a real picaresque film. Two petty criminals put pressure on a crime syndicate by constantly robbing them. Lots of action and good roles from Duvall and Baker, who do what they do for a lot of money partly out of revenge and partly out of temptation. Only everything is a bit too smooth for the duo, as One Ring also indicates; the robbers run smoothly every time and the ease with which they get into the villa of the "mob boss" at the end is just too much. Fortunately, this action film from the Dirty Harry period is not dusty and musty; certainly looks good and is a fine example of an early exploitation film.

And another fine crime film from the rough seventies. Today they sometimes want to get lost in all kinds of strange curves, Flynn on the other hand always does it right, straight forward and straight to the point. A fatalistic wind is blowing, although it never really turns into a storm and for a moment someone has to update the viewer, but then Duvall and his companion go on the hunt for some form of justice without batting an eyelid.
Nice no-nonsense characters, cold-blooded, goal-oriented and free of doubts and fears when they take on the mob. Iron-eaters that women find useful as long as they don't complain or interfere in everything. A scene like the one with the blonde slut could have been removed from the film, but I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world. Corrective and other taps, some gunplay, heists, and a finale where Flynn tries to ramp up the tension. Necessary? Nah. Fun? Yes.
