Charles Bronson plays a crime-reporter-turned-would-be-novelist whose book's not going anywhere, so he takes a job as go-between in a payoff involving some stolen journals. It gets way more complicated than that - the narrative lost me completely after an hour or so - but by then you kind of want to stick around just to find out what the hell is going on. The Los Angeles locations look appropriately gritty, and Bronson, as usual, is bulletproof.
