Director Douglas Hickox (Theatre of Blood) worked his way up from assistant director to have a brief run of commercial hits in the mid-70s. This is probably his most nihilistic project, a bleak, violent thriller in the vein of Get Carter and Villain. Oliver Reed startles as the crazed convict who breaks prison to kill his unfaithful wife. All we could unearth on this one was a 60 second tv spot.
