Charles Bronson is great in this stylish Italian/American gangster flick. Also of note is a very nice Ennio Morricone score.

Pulpy Italian suspense/action starring Charles Bronson as a hitman. Good stuff, but pretty standard. Nice Ennio Morricone score, too. Telly Savalas really phones in his small part, though.

One of the weirder Bronson vehicles, swinging between frantic and sluggish pace, hyper-stylized from beginning to end. Not one for casual fans, but seeing one of the classic men of action venture into artsy, italian exploitation tickled my fancy something awful.

Plenty to like here, including an early lead performance from Bronson, who says almost nothing, and a cool Morricone score. It moves along briskly, and is well directed even if the plot and script stretch credibility at points. A fun crime flick with some decent action sequences. Worth a look.

Charles Bronson is great in this. Decent performance although the script is all over the place. Think the 1st ten minutes had no dialogue at all.

Seems like it might turn into something interesting, but never quite does. A lot of the stuntwork and action sequences are unconvincing, and some poor editing compounds the issues.

"Charles Bronson gets screwed over in Violent City. In fact, he gets screwed over so many times that the film loses track of its internal timeline." - Eric Henderson

This movie is very much of the time period. There are so many things that happen in this movie. The script is all over the place but there are many scenes that work. Sometimes the unpredictability of the script adds to this film. Charles Bronson works well i n the lead role. Overall I would recommend this film.
