Clint Eastwood shines as the fish out of water Arizona Deputy Sheriff sent to return with a prisoner, only for the prisoner to escape. This leads Eastwood on a trip through unknown territory to recapture his man. Full of principle and lone wolf-ness he grates against the NYPD. An enjoyable romp and although not too disimilar to his "man with no name" sense of morality. Personally i could see the beginnings of his Dirty Harry persona starting to emerge in this one.
