Product Description:
Charles Bronson demonstrates what tough is as he plays a drifter caught up in the fight game during the Great Depression.
Amazon.com:
Walter Hill's colorful directorial debut has quite a cult following for its toughness and violence; it may well be his best film, in fact. Charles Bronson plays a silent street fighter in New Orleans in the '30s managed by the cool James Coburn. Jill Ireland, Strother Martin, and Michael McGuire costar in this spare existential Depression dirge. It owes a lot to its noir origins that Hill adores so much, yet there's something very fresh and vital about its subject and approach. That's really what made so many of these films from the '70s so endearing. An added bonus is the love and affection displayed by the real-life husband and wife team of Bronson and Ireland. --Bill Desowitz

Charles Bronson, best known for his Death Wish movies, stars as Chaney, a lone wolf who travels from town to town to make some quick cash by fist fighting. Along the way he hooks up with an illegal street fight promoter and hustler named Speed (James Coburn). They make some cash, but Speed's carelessness with his money gets him into trouble with some local thugs.

This depression era film captures the era brilliantly. The story is good and believable, involves the trickery and honor amongst junior gangsters, and provides lessons in the values of honesty, perseverance, determination.
James Coburn is priceless as supporting actor, as is Strother Martin, fresh off the set of Burch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. My favorite scene is when he boxes with Bob Tessier, the reputed unbeatable street fighter (Which is the European name of the film) and realistically ... Read More

good acting from an outstanding cast.interesting description of the depression.the fight scenes, are not only exciting but predict what is now on tv.

Great film about personal honor and the warrior spirit -- in a world where no one else exhibits any. The fighter does what he has to do, what he can do -- as well as he can, as long as he can, willing to sacrifice what he must to succeed. This is warrior spirit and personal honor, which can also be seen in "The thirteenth Warrior," another much misunderstood film. Now that hard times are upon us, more of us should be watching movies like this for inspiration!
Rating:  -
Bronson is a raw, brutal bareknuckle fighter who enters into an alliance with Coburn, a fast talking gambler, who loses more than he wins. The fight scenes are hardcore and the editing is perfect. Greed and courage are the co-stars of this fascinating film that explores human strengths and weaknesses.
