Truck Turner (1974)

A bounty hunter is wanted dead by the widow of a pimp he killed while trying to capture him.

The plotline is rather simple-minded, focusing on an invincible protagonist, a fact which renders the conflicts' outcome rather predictable. And when so many get killed -- including some of protagonists' friends, by the way -- it is inevitable that our level of empathy drop a little. But it is well-filmed, with plenty of action, and even the dramatic bits are reasonably well-written. I guess the movie is at its most attractive when it shows its gallery of hoodlums.

Rating: 51
