Now if you don't come with me, that's all the excuse they'll need. They'll either kill you or get themselves killed trying.
Albert Johnson:You can't stop it.

12 out of 16 people found the following review useful.
Terrific neo-western set in Canada, 7 January 2001
Author: Hugh Brandon (theduckofdeath@earthlink.net) from North Texas

Charles Bronson is an ex-patriot of the United States who travels to the Yukon to escape his past. He gets on the bad side of a group of trappers, kills one of them in self-defense, and is wrongfully accused of murder. Lee Marvin as a veteran Mountie, Carl Weathers, and fresh from training Mountie Andrew Stevens set out to track Bronson down as he tries to escape into Alaska.

The acting in this film is sensational, the settings are true to life, and the story is riveting. A must see!
