'Man of Violence' (1970) – Peter Walker.

Peter Walker's hard-boiled, exhilaratingly brutal, double-dealing 'Man of Violence' remains a pugnacious, bullet-paced, corkscrew twisted 70s crime thriller. Conniving thugs, murderously Machiavellian business tycoons, Soho Sleazoids are on the bloody trail of a fortune in gold bullion, with hammer-fisted, sharp-shooting villain, Moon (Michael Latimer) fatally embroiled in this deadly gold rush! Moon's rough-hewn charm, feral cunning, and fearsome tenacity are all put to good use in order to keep his hard alabaster body on a lead free diet! Moon's intense alpha dog charisma proving irresistible to slinkily scheming pussycat, Angel (Luan Peters). Rapacious glamour girl, Angel's dangerously distracting curves, magnetic come hither quiver, and edible smile reveals little of her mercenary, gold-lusting duplicity! Punchier than an Austin Martin, sharper than a prison shiv, Martini cool Gangster films like 'Man of Violence' come along only once in a blue Moon!
