08/21/2015 Gritty story about a homicide investigator, Blade, looking into the murder of a congressman's daughter which leads right back to the congressman's son. Several familiar character actors from the 70's in this one. Worth a look if you can find it. See more 04/18/2015 Relentless police lieutenant investigates the murder of a Congressman's daughter, bucking significant political pressures along the way. Spotty camerawork aside, great to see veteran character actor John Marley in a lead performance along with an excellent score. Evidence suggests post production tinkering, most notably in the form of NY theatre marquee featuring Animal House, released five years after this was filmed. See more Read all reviews
