ScotIand Yard's Jim Naboth (Stacy Keach) battIed the bottIe instead of London's seedy underworld and Iost. But he finds one chance to get out of Iife's gutter when the mob kidnaps his ex-wife in a ruthIess $1-milIion ransom scheme. Director MichaeI Apted tightens The Squeeze into a penetrating study of people under stress - and a walIoping bloody, sexy detective caper in the mold of great British gangIand thrilIers like Get Carter and The Long Good Friday. He packs it with on-edge performances, starting with Keach (TV's Mike Hammer) as the hard-drinking cop who's no match for both booze and sadistic hoods - but is determined to free his ex. Co-starring are Edward Fox (The Day Of The Jackal), David Hemmings (BIow-Up), Stephen Boyd (Ben Hur's chariot-racing viIIain) and, as the desperate kidnap victim who uses her sexuality as a weapon against her captors, IoveIy Carol White. |
