Review:
Writer-director Bert I. Gordon (working from a story by Marc Behm) helmed this low-budget vigilante-psycho thriller set across the diverse streets of Los Angeles, featuring the potential of harm at literally every corner.

Bespectacled Connors is about as unhinged as you can imagine — but he’s in good company with sicko Brand, whose wife (Ilona Wilson) is at least somewhat in league with his perversions.

Given that obsessed Lieutenant Geronimo Minneli (Edwards) is on their tails:

… we’re guaranteed an action-packed and violence-filled adventure (which we get). Numerous sequences fall squarely within exploitation realm — be forewarned about several highly disturbing scenes — but to Gordon’s credit, one stays curious throughout about how things will eventually resolve.

Of special note: Edwards uses fancy facial “recognition” technology to craft an impressively effective visage of his suspect.

Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:

• Good use of location shooting throughout Los Angeles
  

Must See?
No, though it’s worth a one-time look.
