This is from the BCI Men of Action 10 Movie Set. Its more or less a police Drama, Mitchell played by Joe Don Baker in 1975 a few years after his star role that made him famous in Walking Tall, though he stared in over 79 movie and TV roles, he never seem to regain the stardom he once had. Linda Evans played Greta so where did they come up wit that name, she was staring in police/detective TV sitcoms during this era. The move is about a cop who breaks all the rules to get his man, which he does, The movie itself is full of mistakes and that's have the fun of watching this one. Though its obvious that the upper chain of command in the Police Department is on the take, that never seems to surface in this movie, just the fact that 2 different crime bosses are trying to get rid of Mitchell. Its worth 3 1/2 stars and not a bad film in a 10 Movie Pack.
