Early Walter Hill outing is a very straightforward, simple story of drifter/street fighter Bronson who teams up with small-time promoter Coburn in New Orleans in the '30s. Firm, small-scale movie-making, but mainly just old-time, "no more dialog than necessary" machismo entertainment of the kind that Bronson gets away with - but say, Van Damme wouldn't, for instance... And honestly, Bronson wasn't much more of an actor than an action prop/symbol of the same kind!
Not bad, though if you're into the genre; fine production standards and good performances from Coburn and Strother Martin. It does however sag seriously between its obvious highlights: The impressive, pulse-raising bare-knuckle fights!
5 out of 10 from Ozjeppe.
