My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
Gritty story of a trio of convicts who break out of prison and then seek revenge on the outside. Oliver Reed is a brutal thug whose only thought is to murder his wife and her boyfriend. Ian McShane is his partner who likes to beat up women but otherwise avoids violence. They use their criminal contacts to obtain a high powered gun and a bag full of cash. They gradually converge on his wife's high rise apartment for a final confrontation. It features superb locations, moody photography, several interesting chase scenes and good characterizations, but you wouldn't want to meet any of these people in real life.
