"No prison is strong enough to hold Bronson"
Err when exactly is Bronson actually in prison?
Don't take it all to seriously and you should enjoy it, unless your a complete snob with no sense of humor. I do agree that Robert Duvall is wasted.

Bronson is much looser in this role than in most of his others, the chick who plays Myrna is f'in smoking, Robert Duvall doesnt have much to do but he handles it aptly. It was weird seeing Randy Quaid pre-National Lampoon's. There's some laughs, there's some drama, and a dude gets chopped to million of pieces in an airplane propeller and the effects make it look like a pillowcase torn to shreds. What's not to like?
Standard action, som så vidt kryper over middels pga. noen fine stunt.
god charles bronson is so awsome in this movie he makes me want to breakout! hes what all young boys should aspire to be when they get older a real "mans man". plus hes sexy!
