💬 Reviews
Unfortunately, none of Messrs. Caine, Quinn and Mason are on very good form here. Nor do they have much of a script to work with in this rather clunky crime drama. It is Quinn ("Ventura") an official at the US Justice Department, who has been trying for years to thwart the activities of drugs baron "Brizard" (Mason) but the man proves somewhat teflon! As a last resort, he hires an unknown assassin…
