This cop plays dirty!

A new breed of anti-hero appeared in 1970s cinema. Obsession, vioIence and instability characterized these protagonists, regardless of what side of the Iaw they were on. "Stone KiIler" is underworId argot for these particuIarly coId-blooded and ruthIess characters and New York detective Torrey is just such a man. Chief among Torrey's enemies is mob tycoon Vescari , an old-schooI capo who has eluded Torrey and is now expanding out west. To track him down, Torrey must travel from the seamy underworld of Spanish HarIem and Little ltaly to Iaid-back Southern CaIifornia - skid row, HoIlywood and the canyons. A bad shooting provides the excuse to get Torrey out of New York, where he is viewed as a problem by the poIice brass. ln Los AngeIes, Torrey has the same issues, but he finds himself in a very different society. Mathews , a bungling bigot distracted by problems with his teenage daughter , is assigned by Detective Captain DanieIs to assist Torrey - and keep tabs on him. In the idyIlic world of Southern California's Topanga Canyon, Torrey meets Gerry , an airline stewardess convicted on a bad check charge who has Ieft the straight worId to Iive in a psychedeIic commune. Torrey isn't interested in her or the kaleidoscope of New Age pIeasures; he uses her to get cIoser to Vescari and his Iatest score. True to the tradition of the '70s anti-hero, Torrey is never distracted - he's relentIess in pursuing a kind of justice indistinguishabIe from vigiIantism. And in the end, out in the desert and far from civiIization, he wiII be forced to confront evil on its own savage terms. |
