Death Hunt (1981)
Country: US
Technical: col 97m
Director: Peter Hunt
Cast: Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson
Synopsis:
A lawman tracks down his prey in the Rocky Mountains.
Review:
Like an old man's First Blood, but not as grippingly paced, and with an entirely superfluous role for Angie Dickinson, as if to get her in bed with Marvin just one more time, but despite stretches of tiresome padding and a general 'formula' feel in its green young mountie, its central 'innocent hunted turns hunter' premise, and its pseudo-Wild Bunch pretensions in the characterisation of the two leads, it is made with a certain relentless efficiency, beautifully shot, and has a satisfying knack of fulfilling the expectations aroused by its eminently identifiable antecedents.
