Review:
Charles Bronson is back, and this time he's a Canadian in the '30s! He plays a trapper who keeps to himself (in other words yes he's the exact same character as he is in Death Wish) that winds up in trouble with the law. He sees a dogfight going on, and decides to save one of the dogs but he doesn't pay the trapper the amount he feels the nearly dead dog is worth. Bronson brings it back to health and then continues on, but he won't have piece for long as a gang of the dog owners friends attack him. Of course he goes to defend himself, and gets blamed and from there it's one big chase through the cold Canadian climate over mountains and hills. It's rather thrilling, and the scenery is beautiful too. It's sort of like a western in many ways, though an action film it definitely qualifies as also. I think fans of Bronson films should definitely eat this right up, it's quite an exciting treat that is straightforward and very easy to enjoy.
