Merle Hench is an enforcer for a San Fernando mob outfit, twenty years ago he had a decent reputation as a pro-boxer, but that was then. Cool and soft spoken, Merle’s an anachronism, a man out of place and out of time.

Relaxing thriller...

This is a steady thriller, with frequent bouts of mob violence, I liked it.

Good Movie

A thoughful film. The start is low key but it slowly develops into a full blooded actioneer. I can take or leave Eric Roberts but he was perfect as the lead in this stylised but stylish movie. Maybe not everyone will agree but I enjoyed it!!
