Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin in an action flick; sounds like it can't miss, right? It doesn't!
Charles Bronson plays a sort of recluse who lives high up in snowy mountains. He pisses off some local jo-jo's who then try and kill him, but our man fights back and kills one of them and attempts to flee the country afterwards. That's the beginning of a massive man hunt that's led by law enforcement official Lee Marvin.
What makes this movie really work are few things in particular. The pairing of Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, two of the toughest bad asses, is a real treat. The film has magnificent scenery throughout and is beautifully filmed and has some great action sequences also. Directed by Peter Hunt, who also made the best Bond film (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), this guy knows how to make action films.
