Synopsis: A cop witnesses his partner get killed when they are following a suspect. He subsequently waives his badge and gun. When said partner's journalist girlfriend is murdered, he decides to find the culprits by himself.
Appraisal: Derivative actioner; it takes some of the elements from Dirty Harry (1971) while reshaping the main character as a martial arts expert. When justice outside the law was the exclusive turf of superheroes it was harder for viewers to consider them as feasible models to follow. Thus, you wouldn't see people practicing flight for instance, whereas the martial arts gym business boomed after An Eye for an Eye. Anywhow, there is some amount of undemanding entertainment to be had from it; it is competently filmed, etc.
