Plot Summary

Mal Reese is in a real bind--owing a good deal of money to his organized crime bosses--and gets his friend Walker to join him in a heist. It goes off without a hitch, but when Reese realizes the take isn't as large as he had hoped, he kills Walker--or so he thinks. Some time later, Walker decides it's time to get his share of the money and starts with his ex-wife Lynne, who took up with Reese after the shooting. That leads him on a trail--to his wife's sister Chris, to Reese himself, then onto Big Stegman, then Frederick Carter, then up the line of gangsters in an effort to get money from people who simply won't acknowledge that they owe him anything.

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Lee Marvin didn't think John Vernon was good for the role, as the actor "wasn't strong enough to contend with him"; and during filming, Marvin punched Vernon in the stomach during a fight scene, causing Vernon to cry out and protest that he was an actor, not a fighter. But Vernon followed it with a visibly-increased energy and anger. See more »
Goofs After Chris leaves Walker in her apartment, Reese is shown standing and staring through a large plate glass window as though he is looking outside, but the reflection of a red camera light can be seen in the glass. See more »
