CRITICAL COMMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||
"What sets this film apart from the majority of Bronson's work is the breadth his character emcompasses. He has an abundance of dialogue rather than his usual strong silent type; here he gets a cocky, determined, but not so confident role." -- Jeff Ulmer, digitallyOBSESSED. com | ||||||||||||||||||

QUOTES | ||||||||||||||||||
Harris Wagner: It's a pity at my age, falling victim to a cliche. Because of a distant link between his chromosomes and mine, my grandson shall remain alive. | ||||||||||||||||||
