Standout Aspects

Acting

Peter Coyote's unhinged hitman energy carries entire film.

Production

Somehow looks expensive and cheap simultaneously.

Best for:Solo: 2am with cold pizza, questioning your taste.·Rewatch: Spot which scenes they clearly ran out of money.
Heads up:Violence: Child death in opening, casual brutality throughout.

Trivia

Based on Donald Westlake's 'Parker' novel—one of many failed attempts to launch the character on screen before Jason Statham finally cracked it with 'Parker' (2013).

Insight

Director Terry Bedford never made another feature. After seeing this, you'll understand why producers hesitated.
