A former CIA agent, John Creasy, is hired as a bodyguard for a girl in Italy, who becomes the daughter he never had. When she is abducted, Creasy’s fiery rage is unleashed, and despite being badly wounded, embarks on a bloody revenge spree.
This seldom available version (hampered mainly by a borderline adequate budget) makes for an interesting comparison with the better known Tony Scott / Denzel remake. I actually prefer this more-character-less-bloodlust version, which does not line up exactly story-wise with the later one, although derived from the same novel. Good cast, always liked Scott Glen.
