I really did enjoy this movie, however, it had more foul language than I like. Don't believe it added anything to the movie. Aside from that I did enjoy it.

In the books of "so bad it's good" comes this clunker with a semi-all-star cast who must've been drunk when they read the script. Ok, I know Oliver Reed has had his problems, and this (70's) was probably the time that things were coming unglued for him so I can sort of understand why he took the lead. Donald Pleasance, as a chain-smoking doctor still had a little hair here and had not met John Carpenter yet but still had a good reputation. Raymond Burr, my God, Perry Mason and Ironside already under his belt should have ran for the hills! He plays a dumb, and I mean dumb gutless, corrupt police chief opposite Reed's ultra-stiff-as-a-board, cliche infested detective who's on his last day on the job. Reed is leaving the force because his colleagues are all crooked cops, and he tells them that at his last speech! Before he goes though he's gonna finish what he started right to the last minute dag-nabbit or die trying. When a wimpy psycho takes his ex-girlfriend, another dumb bag-of-nails hostage, Reed decides to take the negotiations over from his soon to be smart-*ss replacement. The dialogue between Reed and the other cop is the funniest that I have ever heard in a any movie that, if I'm not mistaken, tried to take itself seriously. I can't be sure of that but regardless, it's priceless. My jaw must've been dropped throughout the whole movie as I was expecting something other than a Dramedy. I didn't notice the language being that obsene at all. Funny maybe but foul? No. Anyway, pick this baby up. I smile everytime I even think about it.
