Rating:  - Charles Bronson fan
I am a Charles Bronson fan so I enjoyed the DVD. It is a little dated with the 70's slang but I can dig it.
Rating:  - Multi-sports
I find it's a great movie. The first 35 minutes are a little long, but then this movie charmed me for its multiple sports that the hit man practices. I like the psychological side of it too, it's not a typical shooter, but a refined sportsman. Vidi Napoli E Pui Muri. Its one of my favorites.

Rating: - One of Charles Bronson's best movies
