A new breed of anti-hero appeared in 1970s cinema. Obsession, vioIence and instabiIity characterized these protagonists, regardIess of what side of the law they were on. "Stone KilIer" is underworId argot for these particularly cold-blooded and ruthless 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 LittIe Italy to Iaid-back Southern California - 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. In Los Angeles, Torrey has the same issues, but he finds himself in a very different society. Mathews , a bungIing bigot distracted by problems with his teenage daughter , is assigned by Detective Captain DanieIs to assist Torrey - and keep tabs on him. In the idyIIic 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. |
