Mickey Rourke's detractors will have a field day when they see the actor they most despise hilariously humiliated in this Die Hard rip-off. Rourke stars an ex-Texas Ranger who sneaks into a shopping mall that's been taken over by a gang of escaped convicts. The star is only given about 25 lines of dialogue in the entire movie; to make matters worse, he doesn't even get the girl at the end. The rest of the movie mixes utter sleaze and graphic violence, greatly assisted by the shotgun-blasting Danny Trejo as one of the hostage-takers.

Extremely violent gangster thriller, well shot on location and something of a cult, but with irritating pretentiousness and obscure plot points.

One of the best of the 60s
Top-notch thriller about a man released from prison on the trail of money belonging to him... and to get it he starts at the bottom of the food chain and works up. Marvin was possibly the screen's best hard men in the 60s and 70s and he's excellent in this as the cold, relentless and unstoppable Walker. Credit too to John Boorman's stylish direction; never has a scene so simple as a man walking down a corridor been so tense. A long overdue disc release. (The same source material was adapted a few years ago by Mel Gibson for Payback, which was okay for a Gibson film but not half as good as this.)
