This is a great Movie. Charles bronson stars as arthur Bishop, n eccentric and lonely hit man who is desperately seeking a friend to spend time with. The movie contains a very well thought out plot which has a suprising ending. I would recommend this movie to all fans of Charles Bronson. I am very suprised that this movie has not made it onto DVD. It really should be on DVD as soon as possible. What I don't understand is how so many movies which are not so popular or good manage to get onto DVD and this one hasn't.

This is an excellent movie. The plot is extremely interesting adn is a must for Bronson fans. This is an excellent example of the proverbial assassin or hit man. I absolutely loved this movie because of its characters and the methodical techniques he employs to kill his victims. why isn't this one on dvd.

I used to watch this movie years ago when it appeared on late night television. It is more than just an action film as it shows the downside of a man and his actions. There are none of the double entendres or wise cracks that we've come to associate with the genre. What we are left with is a tense film about an amoral friendless man who kills for profit and the price he pays for it. Arthur Bishop kills people for a criminal organization and masks the kills as accidents. He is well paid and lives in a fantastic home, studies martial arts, and gets absorbed in bizarre paintings. By virtue, or rather, the lack of virtue of his profession, he is an isolated and lonely individual who lives by a personal code. As the story progressess we see the failures of this code, his attempts to counteract this and his secret longing for friendship. This is a brillant movie. Granted, aspects of it are a bit dated but this is really only the motorcycle chase. The chilling aspect of this film is not the ammount of violence, as their really isn't that much, nor of the number of people killed, as their aren't that many, particulary when you compare it to today's movies. It is the methodical nature of the violence and the attitudes the participants display towards it. This is a quintessential 70s movie; cynical, cold,and world weary and would never be made in our touchy-feely, politicaly-correct times. It's gritty, brooding and blunt and that's it's power. This is Bronson's best role and his best movie and I can't imagine any other actor playing this role. The best lines in the movie are these... Jan Michael Vincent "Do you get paid?"
Charles Bronson "Money is paid, but that's not why it's done."
Jan Michael Vincent "Why then?"
Charles Bronson "It has to do with standing outside of it all...on your own."
