    Excellent Sinatra vehicle
    This is a typical violent and gritty urban crime flick from the seventies, where Sinatra offers a role in the line of Dirty Harry or the Duke in McQ. The ending reminds HUSTLE or even NEW CENTURIONS. I hope this is not a spoiler, because most of the viewers don't know those movies. Bill Graham was a TV director whom you could easily rely on. This film makes no exception.
