Editorial Review: Description: In A City Set To Explode, One Man Has Just Lit The Fuse After a bloody double-cross leaves him for dead, professional hit man Jeff (Charles Bronson) tracks the shooter and his beautiful mistress (Jill Ireland) to New Orleans. But when Jeff takes both revenge and the woman, he finds himself blackmailed by a powerful crime boss (Telly Savalas) who wants the fiercely independent gunman to join his organization. Jeff refuses, and is hunted through an unforgiving city where love is like a loaded gun and debts of vengeance are paid in bullets. This is no ordinary Bronson movie! Inspired by Jean-Pierre Melville's LE SAMOURAI and originally released in the U.S. as THE FAMILY, VIOLENT CITY is packed with savage action and a shocking twist ending. Directed by Sergio Sollima (REVOLVER, THE BIG GUNDOWN) from a fast-paced screenplay co-written by Lina Wertmuller (SWEPT AWAY) and featuring a pulse-pounding score by the legendary Ennio Morricone (THE UNTOUCHABLES), VIOLENT CITY has been transferred from the original camera negative and is presented complete and uncut.

 Rating:  - Spaghetti ChuckViolent City is the story of Jeff, a hitman who gets all tangled up in a web of complications around the time he wants to retire(doesn't it always happen when they want to retire?).

There's also a shady lawyer lurking around and Jill Ireland is popping in and out of Jeff's life at various points, making things for him much more difficult coz he's rather smitten ...

The VHS edition came from a company called MPI Video/Maljack Productions and was derived from the TV print, which meant, in the pre-cable days, the removal of several nude scenes. It was also pan-and-scan, not letterboxed, which meant we didn't get the full view of Aldo Tonti's crisp widescreen cinematography. ... Read More Rating: - hope this one's the real dealThe original remastered version was great to see, but 1 great Bronson line was dubbed. "No memories". On the VHS copy of The Family, it's not dubbed. Also the fellow inmate's spiel about the family man who killed his family is dubbed. Again on the VHS copy it's in his original voice. I hope they get the 2 editions together and come up with the definitive version. Browse for similar items by category:
