interesting one this,came out in 1977,then disappeared,showed up on a rental early 1980,but never seemed to get a tv showing,plays like a sweeney episode although it`s more on the criminal side of things,known for the only film role of Freddie star,the uk comedian,ok crime thriller that does drag a bit,last vhs outing was from a ntsc tape which looked awful due to being presented in long play,don`t go there,feel like you have the wrong glasses on,just the pits for modern led tv`s.Now we have another great warner bros archive release which does the movie proud,crystal clear picture,you can see and feel the grime of the london underground at the begining of this flick,good mono sound,no widescreen,but does not matter as movie in the cinema was only 35mm.Worth a buy just for the many brit actors in it,although it`s hollywood produced,these archive series of movies are great for seeing something that`s never before been on home video or you saw on good old betamax and never had a second chance again,go buy now.

have been after this film for years.one of the best things that stacy keach has done.ratio 1.85.1.mono.picture a bit soft.but worth every penny.just a good tough thriller excellent performances from all the cast including freddie starr in his onlyfilm role.look out for stephen boyd playing an irish gangster.i don,t want to give to much of the plot away.stacy keach is a alcoholic ex cop whose ex wife has been kidnapped by david hemmings and crew.stacy keach becomes involved when her husband played by edward fox thinks she is possibly with keach.fox owns a money moving company.watch as all this comes together just to say they all under estimate keach.carol white gets her kit off not a pretty sight apart from that a brilliant flick.

recommended to fans of the British gangster flick
25 April 2004
Chronologically sitting between Get Carter & The Long Good Friday this is something of a lost classic British gangster / heist film containing all the tough , gritty realism of its better known peers - with Stacy Keach ( for some reason ) cast as an alcoholic ex-London cop . Highly recommended to fans of the genre - bit dated otherwise but still stands up against more recent films.

Grit and nastiness
6 Jun 2003
Don't confuse this movie with the Michael Keaton one.
This has Stacey Keach, David Hemmings, Freddie Starr, Edward Fox et al and Stephen Boyd as a particularly nasty villain.
Apted piles on the grotesquery and the squalor, and the bank job gone wrong ending is superb.

You ask yourself . . .
24 Sep 2001
THE SQUEEZE causes you to ask yourself . . . "Hey! I've been watching this for 25 minutes. Are they writing the script as they go along?" It is almost as if the director conceded that since we're not getting any laughs, let's make this into a mystery. Failing that route, it ended up trying to make the kids happy with a lot of special effects. Yes, Keaton tried to play the comic, but only manages to play a misfit-in-society figure. I give three stars to this movie only because I did not fall asleep; and also because Rae Dawn Chong worked very hard to act out her role, whatever that was supposed to be. I saw this movie again after a spell of ten years hoping that I'd find something in it after that time lapse. I think that I did detect a New Yorker's joke about New Jersey on the second time around.
