basic action/thriller 29 May 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
This has to be one of the best action/thrillers around it is so simple.Charles Brosnan plays Mr Majestyk a former US Ranger in Vietnam who now runs a melon farm. A brief run in with a local mafia goon see's the mafia gunning for him and in the process making the biggest mistake of there lives.
The charcter is played wonderfully by Mr Brosnan, he plays him as a man who has found peace after war. Who is content to just run his farm, yet deep down is capable of killing with such profesionalism if needed.
A must not just for fans of Charles but for fans of action/thrillers alike.

A classic Bronson movie from 1974. One of Bronson's best films, directed by the none other than Richard Fleischer. With Al Lettieri and Paul Koslo as bad guys. Bronson plays a Vietnam vetaran who just wants to grow his watermelons and otherwise live a peace full life by the principle "live and let live". But a local mafia-like gang, with contacts into the police, chase his seasonal workers away from his farm, and then try to force Bronson to use under-paid illegal workers from Mexico. Bronson, of cause, will not tolerate a gang of criminals to threaten him to run his farm as they tell him, beats up a gangmember (Koslo), and takes back his own seasonal workers. So he put his life in danger, for the local gang is not going to stop. We see Bronson handling the situation in classic style.

I am a big fan of Charles Bronson and i have seen many of his films, and when you look at all of his films, this one is surely in the top few best ones. Its very much like 'Death Wish' really but set in Colorado and instead he is a farmer.

Charles Bronson plays a tough melon farmer called Vincent Majestyc, a former US Ranger in Vietnam. Majestyc who has already hired a crew to pick his one hundred and sixty acres of melons, is forced by a 'cowboy' to use his crew which are cheaper. However Majestyc is not used to being pushed around and assalts the man with a shotgun, and later ends up in jail on assalt charges.

While in jail he meets Frank, a tough Mafia hitman, who has planned an attack on a bus that the prisoners are traveling on so that he can escape. However Majestyc kidnaps Frank and takes him to a hunting cabin in the woods, and tries to make a deal with the cops, that if he gives them Frank, they will drop the assalt charges. They agree and Majestyc's attemps to take him down to the 'cop-shop' are interupted by a woman who has come to rescue Frank.

Now free, Frank swears to kill Majestyc and gets the 'cowboy' to drop the assalt charges so that Majestyc will go back to his melon farm, and become a 'sitting duck'. However what Frank doesn't know is that Majestyc is a Vietnam vet and when his melons are trashed, his friends legs broken, and his picking crew run off the land, he is forced to put his military training back into use, and defend his land, his friends, and most of all his own life.

Charles Bronson, as always is perfect for this type of role and he really does deliver in this film, playing a melon farmer who only wants to get his crop in, but when pushed to the limit, will do everything he can to defend himself and his farm.

Overall this is a really excellent film and i am actually quite supprised that it is not more heard of. Even so don't let that put you off buying it because i can assure you it is worth every penny and will bring you hours and hours of pure entertainment. Highly recommended not only to Bronson fans, but also to fans of action films in general.
