Peter Fonda plays Bradley, a guard working to protect one of South Africa's major diamond depositories, which seems to be located in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. When an outside agent (Telly Savalas) arrives to shake things up and tighten security, boss Nelson (Victor Melleney) asks Bradley to infiltrate a gang of former mercenaries and professional thieves plotting to rip off the depository. Bradley does as he's asked, but when Nelson ends up dead he loses his alibi and is forced to make some tough decisions. Killer Force is a solid action flick, well directed by Val Guest and bolstered by an excellent supporting cast, including Christopher Lee as sadistic Major Chilton, Hugh O'Brian as plot mastermind Lewis, and Maud Adams as Bradley's love interest. Even O.J. Simpson acquits himself reasonably well, sans glove this time. Much worse films than this have been released to DVD; it's a mystery why this one still languishes on VHS.
