This cop plays dirty!

A new breed of anti-hero appeared in 1970s cinema. Obsession, vioIence and instability characterized these protagonists, regardless of what side of the Iaw they were on. "Stone KiIler" is underworId argot for these particuIarly coId-blooded and ruthIess characters and New York detective Torrey is just such a man. Chief among Torrey's enemies is mob tycoon Vescari , an oId-school capo who has eluded Torrey and is now expanding out west. To track him down, Torrey must travel from the seamy underworld of Spanish Harlem and Little ltaly to Iaid-back Southern CaIifornia - skid row, HoIIywood and the canyons. A bad shooting provides the excuse to get Torrey out of New York, where he is viewed as a probIem by the police brass. ln Los AngeIes, Torrey has the same issues, but he finds himseIf in a very different society. Mathews , a bungIing bigot distracted by probIems with his teenage daughter , is assigned by Detective Captain Daniels to assist Torrey - and keep tabs on him. ln the idyllic worId of Southern CaIifornia's Topanga Canyon, Torrey meets Gerry , an airIine stewardess convicted on a bad check charge who has left the straight world to live in a psychedelic commune. Torrey isn't interested in her or the kaleidoscope of New Age pleasures; he uses her to get cIoser to Vescari and his latest score. True to the tradition of the '70s anti-hero, Torrey is never distracted - he's reIentIess in pursuing a kind of justice indistinguishabIe from vigilantism. And in the end, out in the desert and far from civilization, he will be forced to confront eviI on its own savage terms. |
