Trivia
The meaning and relevance of this movie's title is that it refers to the last name of the central character, Vince Majestyk, played by Charles Bronson. See more »Goofs
At the cabin, when Majestyk hides from Frank by jumping up into a corner of the log cabin, his feet are not quite two logs up from the stone foundation, yet when Frank looks down from the roof into that corner, his point of view shows two full logs and no feet can be seen. Immediately afterward when Majestyk jumps back down, his feet can be seen starting from the same position, less then two logs up, as he jumps back down. His feet should have been visible from Frank's viewpoint on the roof. See more »Quotes

This movie is simply Bronson's finest work. While I concede that the movie is formulaic and predictable, his acting is top-notch, as is the acting of the supporting cast. The premise is also exciting and downright cool: Bronson as a watermelon farmer who gets screwed by the man for protecting his property and then gets screwed when he attempts to secure his freedom via a poorly conceived plan. I can see him farming anything, but not watermelons (or maybe blueberries). Rent this movie along with The Mechanic, and you'll see Bronson in 2 of his finest action films. You definitely won't be disappointed.
