The Stone Killer (1973)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Michael Winner
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Bronson is a police detective investigating a series of brutal murders in NYC. The trail leads to the California desert where ex-military types are being trained by the mafia for a revenge killing. An unfocused film that throws in too many undeveloped characters, and Bronson disappears for long stretches at a time. Action scenes are unconvincing: I spotted at least two obvious dummies falling from high places. Supporting work from overly familiar future TV stars Norman Fell and John Ritter (Three's Company) as well as Ralph Waite (The Waltons).
