MAN OF VIOLENCE 1971 (REDEMPTION) BLU-RAY

This was Pete Walker's last non-horror film. He would soon make huge waves with a great lineup of horror films.

This is a no holds barred and very violent story about a mercenary named Moon (Michael Latimer) who is hired to find a huge fortune in gold bullion from a corrupt, un-named Arab country.

Moon finds himself working with 2 ex-cops who also want the money. There are plenty of crosses and double crosses and a lot of brutal killings as Moon attempts to put together clues as to where the gold is.

He is joined in his quest by Angel (Luan Peters) and the viewer is never really sure if Angel is on Moon's side or not.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and it has a very twisted and bleak ending, which would become a staple in Walkers horror gems. The plot is complicated and it takes time to figure everything out, but I found it well worth the wait.

There are plenty of beautiful women in this movie and that should keep your attention is nothing else does. The rest of the cast includes Maurice Kaufman, Derek Aylward, Virginia Wetherell, Erika Raffael, Jessica Spencer, Sheila Babbage and Michael Balfour.

The disc presentation is very good and Redemption gives us the fully uncut 108 minute version of this movie, which is the only one to see. The film is also known as "Moon" and that is what it says in the opening credits.
