A vigilante, only known by his initial K (Robert Bronzi) has taken it
upon himself to clean the city of crime - and while his heart seems to be
in the right place, his methods not always are, as he's of the "shoot
first ask questions later"-variety, but doesn't refrain from robbing
his victims of their valuables. However, he does carry a lot of guilt and
thus always makes sure to send a part of the spoils of his raids to Ana (Eva Hamiltom)
and her daughter Isabel (Leia Perez), who are at a loss to explain the
generosity of this man unknown to them. Thing is, presently, K's after drug kingpin Tyrell, and
Tyrell's not somebody to let go of anything quickly ... Daniel Baldwin
plays an especially disgusting (and potentially dangerous) right wing
radio host in this one. Now ok, there's little to no chance for
this movie not being compared to the Death Wish Charles
Bronson vehicles from back in the day, not only because this movie's lead
Robert Bronzi is just the splitting image of Bronson to begin with, but
also because many of the shots and sequences in this film are deeply
rooted in 1970s and early 80s genre cinema, and many genre mainstays are
employed to be sure. That said, the film's also beautifully shot, with a
definite cinematic eye to everything, and some really impressive
locations, plus the acting is actually really up there with the best of
them. In essence, a rather cool movie, and especially if you're looking
for "Bronsonploitation" (which I don't believe is a real thing),
you're totally in for a treat!
