While most actors are lucky to get one good solid movie role a year, Bronson so far this season has turned out three and we're only halfway through 1976.

Bronson plays a newspaperman on leave from his job to write a novel. That's what the film tells us, but we never get to see him at a typewriter. He's too busy acting like a combination of Sam Spade, Mike Hammer, Philip Marlowe, Colombo and a dozen other Hollywood-style private eyes. He's hired as a go-between for two different bunches of bad guys.

Of course, he happens to be on the scene when a couple of bodies are found, is implicated and on and on. Just like we've seen lots of times before.

And Rick (Sam Elliot) does have a great tan to set off his athletic build.
