Factual error: Murphy shouldn't even be in charge of escorting Arabella to the bathroom and booking her. Female police officers are put in charge of female prisoners.

9.5/10. An underappreciated movie of Charles Bronson's. He, as Det Jack Murphy, is like an older version of Harry Callahan, world weary and bitter. The chemistry between him and Kathleen Wilhoite as Arabella works pretty good, one of the best I've seen alongside Adam Sandler with Winona Ryder in Mr Deeds. Carrie Snodgrass, as Joan Freeman, is pretty good, maybe one of the better movie villains of not just the 80's but one of the best I've ever seen. She just has a great presence about her like Cate Blanchett in Hanna and Kate Winslet in Divergent. I highly recommend this one.
