Walter Hill’s directorial debut about organized street fighting in New Orleans circa the depression holds up as both gritty action film and interesting character drama. Charles Bronson was never better as the grizzled street figher, likewise, James Coburn as his wisecracking promoter. The fights are tough as nails, particularly a bout with perennial tough guy Robert Tessier. Hill also helped write the screenplay.
