Film Overview
This urban thriller starring Lee Marvin is a portrait of violent, businesslike crime. British director John Boorman, in his first American project, captures the American idiom of the thriller genre adding his own talent for fusing fantasy and action within the story. A crucial film in the development of the cinema's interest in organized crime.
