I quite enjoyed this seventies British thriller, which takes after Performance and its ilk.
Convict Oliver Reed - sporting ugly accent - learns wife Jill St John is leaving him and determines to break out of prison with mate Ian McShane and escape planner Freddie Jones - leading to an exciting scene, well shot, and showing what a difficult and scary task it is.
Reed's mission is to kill her, and it involves fellow criminal Frank Finlay and detective Edward Woodward. There's some good action scenes and a nice twist ending.
Well photographed by Ted Scaife, edited by John Glen, music by Stanley Myers.
