 | I loved this movie when it came out and have seen it a few times on TV. Can't wait to see it again on DVD with all the violence.
This movie and the Getaway with Steve McQueen were must see Movies in the 70's. You can add Dirty Harry and Magnum Force too.
Bronson is so cool. He could make you freeze just by looking at you. He wastes some dudes with a shotgun that was way cool in the 70's and still good now. Violence back then was better, more dramatic, more shocking, more cool than the current overkill fake stuff that they make now. It was more real back then. |

| Rating | | | Date | August 16, 2004 | | Summary | Melon farmer vs. the mob | Content
| This is about your average (no better, no worst) mid-'70s Charles Bronson actionier. Vince Majestyk is a Vietnam vet turned small farmer. All he wants to do work his crops, but then he is harrased by a small time hood (Paul Koslo)assalt. After he is arrested for assault. There he meets mob hit man Renda (Al Lettieri). In a botched escape, Vince tries to return Renda to prison, but then Renda gets away. After that Renda swears vengence on Majestyk. What follows is harrasment and then escalating violence until the final shoot out at a cabin in the woods. This movie would fit in perfectly with the bunch of southern justice movies at that time ("Tick, Tick, Tick", "Rolling Thunder", "White Lightning", ect) except for the geographic location in Colorado. Otherwise it fits in prefectly with backwood justice and angst against big city vs small town. Production values (helmed by Richard Fleischer of "Conan the Destroyer" fame) are just about average; good but nothing exceptional. Acting is the same story, no real stand outs. Do not get me wrong, it is pretty good, just nothing special. |
| Rating | | | Date | May 15, 2004 | | Summary | Melonhead | Content
| This is a ridiculously contrived revenge drama penned by one of the most over-rated hacks in America, Elmore Leonard. A melon farmer who happens to be an ace Vietnam combat veteran butts heads with a mob assassin. Happens every day. The film is packed with stereotypes, from the noble Chicano melon-pickers to the gruff police detective to the punk labor contractor to the polyester-enveloped 70's gangsters. It limps along from one poorly staged scene to another until Leonard apparently ran out of cliches. It should have been played for straight comedy since there are so many unintnetional laughs in it. Bronson was strictly a supporting character actor and when he stepped into leading roles he simply didn't have enough depth as an actor to put himself across. |

| This movie was filmed in colorado with film shot's in a field near florence,colorado and just south of canon city on top of oak creek grade and at the very end of the movie you can see the sangre de cristo(blood of christ) mountains in the back ground.the film has alot of good shot's of certain areas around colorado and I had to watch the movie several times to pick certain things out the looked familure such as buildings,street signs,roads with intersection's of highways.this movie drew me to things that were landmarks.I think this is how a movie draws attention. too people who are familure with the surounding area's such as a movie being shot in los angeles,california those people who have been there or live there would notice certain things about the area and therefore that would draw them to the movie but also the movie would need to have a plot to it whether it would be a drama or action or comedy.a must see movie and also a collectors Item(my opinion of course). |
