Rating:  - Bronson vs. Mafia
The Stone Killer, directed by Michael Winner ,starring Charles Bronson as Lt. Torrey, a tough cop who takes no s--- or bullets,in this case Torrey is quicker on the draw or you might say a little trigger happy, never hesitating to eliminate anyone who stands in the way, as it may be the mafia. Martin Balsam is the head honcho inviting all the local mafia dons to a birthday party while Bronson follows the tracks and leads while bullets are flying and bodys are falling. The Stone Killer, isn't lacking ... Read More
Rating: - An Interesting if implausible period piece
In"The Stone Killer"Charles Bronson plays a rather nasty police detective named Torrey involved in an attempt,by a mafia godfather,to re-write underworld history..Based on the book"A Complete State Of Death"By John Gardener,"The Stone Killer"as directed by Michael Winner becomes a period piece,at once dated and implausible..
Set in the early 1970s,the film includes an unnecessary scene at an"ashram"populated by a horde of stereotypical "hippies"that has absolutely no bearing on the plot,but which ... Read More
Rating:  - ITS BRONSON!
Bronson and director Michael Winner warmed up before DEATH WISH in 1973 with this watchable thriller that has its' "gaudy moments" as quoted by Bronson. There are some great lines and where else can you see (Papa Walton) Ralph Waite playing a racist detective in a series of outdated suits? You also get a very young John Ritter in LAPD blue serge and Martin Balsam haming it up (fake Italian accent and all) as the central casting New York Mafioso. THE STONE KILLER isn't great, it isn't awful. It's Bronson!
Rating: - Where's the DVD??
Great Bronson film loaded with action and great Bronson lines. I truly think he should have gone with this character as his franchise instead of his career ending Death Wish stuff. Bronson gives a great performance and the soundtrack is in the same classic 70's style as Enter the Dragon and Dirty Harry. Also available at Amazon.com, check out the re-mastered soundtrack for The Stone Killer. A must have for fans of the 70's!!! Be advised that this VHS pictured here is recorded in the dreaded LP mode.

Rating:  - Bronson's best
This film takes it's place right in the tough cop films of the seventies. I place it right in with the likes of The French Connection; Dirty Harry; Magnum Force and Death Wish. Another plus is the movies great sondtrack.
