After returning from fighting in vietnam, tucker (hackman) ends up in prison. One day, a well dressed visitor tells him he will be free if he knocks someone off, no questions asked. Lots of familiar faces in this one. At about 36 minutes, there's a ridiculously high, piercing musical note, which is painful to hear, so get ready to lower the volume. Lots of time spent with the wife when tucker gets out of jail. Some fun scenery of puerto vallarta from the 1970s. About an hour in, things start to happen! It gets a bit silly and over the top, but if you buy into a few things, it works. The second to last film directed by stanley kramer. He had also done mad, mad world and guess who's coming to dinner. Written by adam kennedy. Eddie albert junior (plays ross) died pretty young at 55.
