One year before their Death Wish collaboration, Bronson starred for Michael Winner in a more luridly violent crime thriller, as a tougher-than-leather police detective whose bicoastal exploits take him from Little Italy to South Street Seaport to an El Lay hippie commune as he unravels an assassination plot by Mafia don Martin Balsam. The ultra-1970s cast includes character actor Charles Tyner as a shrink (!) and future Three’s Company cast mates Norman Fell and John Ritter as cops.
