They double-crossed Walker, took his $93,000 cut of the heist and left him for dead, but they didn´t finish the job. Big mistake. He - someday, somehow - is going to finish ´them´.
Lee Marvin is in full antihero mode as remorseless Walker, talking the talk and walking the walk in John Boorman´s (´Deliverance´) edgy neo-noir classic filled with imaginative New Wave style, blunt dialogue and Walker´s relentless quest that, one by one, smashes into the corporate pecking order of a crime group called the Organization. Angie Dickinson plays the accomplice who uses her seductive wiles to ensnare one of Walker´s prey. "I want my 93 grand," Walker growls at him. Throughout, the payoff to that demand is action that "hits like a fat slug from the .38 Lee Marvin uses as an extension of his fist" (´Newsweek´).
