Grab your helmet and be prepared to duck. It's combat time between a bazooka and a bulldozer. Good thing my TV screen didn't crack. Seems these two baddies plan to rob a big cash load in an armored car and get away using fire power of a bazooka to out-gun any cops getting in the way. After all, what good are cop cars and revolvers against a bazooka blast. No doubt about it, Mathews has a big problem.
Okay the action is something of a stretch, but the visuals with soaring oil derricks and roaring bulldozer are almost from another world. Credit some great skyline photography for that. Location-wise, it's hard to believe the whole thing goes down inside greater LA (Baldwin Park and Mulholland Drive). Note too how script makes sure the one ex-GI baddie is not the Korean war hero he claims to be. That way no reflection is cast on a hero gone bad.
Anyway, the entry keeps the usual HP context, but with a high-octane variation that'll keep you glued. Meanwhile, I'm giving my screen a second check.
