Summary

Lee Marvin delivers a potent performance as a gangster named Walker, whose faithless wife (Sharon Acker) and double-dealing partner in crime (John Vernon) shoot Walker and leave him to die on Alcatraz Island after a major heist. But he turns up two years later hell-bent on payback in this taut, neo-noir thriller from director John Boorman. The fine supporting cast includes Angie Dickinson, Carroll O'Connor, Keenan Wynn and Lloyd Bochner.
