Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson) absolutely has to get his watermelon crop in, come hell or high water, and nothing in the world is going to stop him. Trouble comes, however, in the form of Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo), who tries to force Majestyk to use a crew of winos rather than Majestyk's hand-picked migrant crew. After Majestyk cleans his clock, Kopas swears out an assault complaint, and soon the melon grower finds himself in the county lockup. In jail he meets hit man Renda (Al Lettieri), and the two regard each other with hostility and suspicion. In a segment worthy of action director John Frankenheimer, Renda's pals try to break him out of a prison bus in a street shootout. Instead, Majestyk commandeers the bus and drives off with Renda, with the intention of using him as a pawn to get the charges dropped on himself…so he can get his melon crop in, of course. The script for Mr. Majestyk was written by none other than Elmore Leonard himself, and the rhythms of his hard-bitten prose are clear throughout. As expected with a Leonard story, there are plenty of plot flip-flops and more than a little tongue-in-cheek humor (the flinty Bronson even gets a few of the good lines). A word of warning: Vegetarians and those with sensitive temperaments may be disturbed by the machine-gun slaughter of hundreds of defenseless watermelons, in one of the movie's more sublime scenes. It's not great stuff, but Mr. Majestyk is a fast-moving '70s action flick that doesn't take itself too seriously and isn't above a blithely ridiculous plot device or two. --Jerry Renshaw

Love Bronson's laid back style and tolerance against injustice, but will only take so much before letting rip. And when he does "lose it" you had better not be on the receiving end. Excellent Classic movie.

I love Charles Bronson movies and this was a great movie! Lots of action and suspense. It's unpredictable plot is appreciated which I feel movies of today lack! whatsoever. Don't miss out watching this.

Charles Bronson plays Vince Majestyk, a melon farmer who simply wants to pick his crop and live in peace. A tough and somewhat cynical man, he was a soldier, did time in prison, and went through a rough divorce. He and his immigrant workers are hassled by a small time crook. A scuffle with the crook lands him in jail where he encounters a hit man for the mafia (Frank Renda - played perfectly by a chubby Al Lettieri - `The Turk' Sollozo from The Godfather). Renda and Majestyk don't seem to hit ... Read More

Awsome movie that I have seen for more than 150 times! You can watch and listen to it like music. Also, its really funny to see details like the steering wheel in his pick-up truck, one scene a black wheel the next scene a blue one with an inner horn wheel! Take my advise and buy!
