ONE LINE MOVIE REVIEWS #52: THE STONE KILLER (1973)


Charlie Bronson’s rogue cop flick features psycho-Vietnam-vets-as-mob-mercenaries; a racist dipshit cop who almost burns down his own police station; Martin Balsam as a Wario-esque mafia boss; John Ritter as a hapless uniformed bullet catcher; Bronson channeling his inner Scanner to psychically shatter a mirror; and a reckless Blues Brothers-worthy car chase in which a bicoastal detective pursues a bisexual criminal-it’s too much of a good thing, I tells ya’!
