Inspector Martineau rightly guesses that after a violent jailbreak a local criminal will head home to Manchester to pick up the spoils from his last job. Martineau is soon investigating a murder during a street robbery which seems to lead back to the same villain. Concentrating on the case and using his local contacts to try and track the gang down, he is aware he is not keeping his own personal life together as well as he might. (Jeremy Perkins)

I feel like I watch so much American cinema, particularly from this era, that watching something this British is almost jarring. I enjoyed this more on a visual level, but it's a decent little crime drama. The theme of marital dissatisfaction felt a little scattered and the climax just seems to "happen", but the overall ride is a worthwhile watch. On another, random note, the opening theme sounds reminiscent of The Pink Panther.
