(DVD, Timeless Media Group)
Police officer Bronson agrees to help the FBI rescue a witness who can testify against the mob from Switzerland, where she has been targeted to be killed. He plays a cat and mouse game with her assassins in scenic mountain locations. For some reason he doesn't carry a gun, so improvises some interesting weapons, including a blow gun made out of paper and nails with which he kills several men. Jill Ireland is the bimbo girl he is trying to help, although she takes her part a little too far at times. Rod Steiger gives another convincing performance as the mob kingpin. Unfortunately the Timeless Media Group DVD release is a pan and scan mess, like watching the movie through a telephoto lens.
