action
Johnny and some friends rob a small bank. During the robbery, however, it turns out that it is being used by the Mafia for money laundering, whereupon the gang flees without prey. Nevertheless, the Mafiosi Phan sends his men out who try unsuccessfully to kill Johnny and the others. The gang then went into hiding with an acquaintance named Bulldog.
Now Johnny allies himself with Phan's lover, Jane, who wants to separate from the Mafioso, which he does not allow. The friends raid Phan's club, steal his money, but fail in an attempt to kill the mafiosi. They take Jane with them on their escape. Sam and Molly, members of Johnny's gang, are a couple: After Sam is shot dead in a confrontation in a bar, Johnny forces a priest to marry Molly off to the dead Sam.
The gang retreats to a rundown country hotel run by Carlo, a friend of Johnny's father. A romance develops between Johnny and Jane. After Phan learns the whereabouts of Johnny and his friends from Larry, another member of the gang, the Mafioso and his men go to the hotel. Larry's apparent betrayal, however, only serves to lure Phan into a trap.
Bulldog arrives at the hotel after being convinced by his friend Tammy that Johnny has refused to give him his fair share of the booty. Bulldog is stabbed to death by Johnny in a duel. Larry and Molly have to deal with Phan's men, Jane with the Mafiosi himself. Phan tries to strangle Jane, but is shot by Johnny.
reception
“Well-done staged action film with solid stunts that is based on relevant role models. The main task of the script is to connect the numerous action scenes, outside of which the actors usually act woodenly. "
