Written by the noted author of scores of well known books and movies, ranging from Hombre and Valez Is Coming to Rum Punch and the cute story about the Deputy United States Marshal Karen whatever (later played in the movie version by Jennifer Lopez against George Clooney's male lead), and Get Shorty! Bronson is perfect as the patient, easy going Korean War vet who seeks no trouble but is able to handle it when it is forced upon him. In classic Elmore Leonard hero style, he is underestimated, put upon and provoked until he surprises the bad guys with unexpectedly effective resistance. Pickup trucks get a real workout, as do California farm melons and Chicano pickers who assist him. More would spoil the fun.....
