just watch it!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Watching Killer Force makes me think that the folks who security at South African diamond mines ought to be the ones running our Homeland Security. As typified by Telly Savalas they are a ruthless but shrewd lot. It wouldn't say much for our civil liberties though, but would we ever be secure from terrorists.Peter Fonda plays one of the security men at a diamond mine in the Kalahari desert who's given an assignment to go undercover and find some folks who are rumored to be planning a big heist. To do so he has to be caught stealing himself which he is. But when the guy giving the assignment is killed and his ever so lovely handler Marina Christelis is killed Fonda is out on a limb. Time to reassess the situation.Once the situation is reassessed the heist is on and the last 40 minutes or so is non-stop action. Other members of the heist team are Hugh O'Brian, Christopher Lee, and O.J. Simpson. Most don't make it, but they go oh so spectacularly.Killer Force is not bad entertainment, but everyone in the cast has done better.

Peter Fonda plays Bradley, a guard working to protect one of South Africa's major diamond depositories, which seems to be located in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. When an outside agent (Telly Savalas) arrives to shake things up and tighten security, boss Nelson (Victor Melleney) asks Bradley to infiltrate a gang of former mercenaries and professional thieves plotting to rip off the depository. Bradley does as he's asked, but when Nelson ends up dead he loses his alibi and is forced to make some tough decisions. Killer Force is a solid action flick, well directed by Val Guest and bolstered by an excellent supporting cast, including Christopher Lee as sadistic Major Chilton, Hugh O'Brian as plot mastermind Lewis, and Maud Adams as Bradley's love interest. Even O.J. Simpson acquits himself reasonably well, sans glove this time. Much worse films than this have been released to DVD; it's a mystery why this one still languishes on VHS.

Hasn't turned up too often on television but was good. Nice casting, with Peter Fonda the lead but not actually leading the robbery. That was left to Hugh O'Brien, Christopher Lee and O.J.Simpson. Maud Adams always good to look at on the screen and Telly Savalas as a security officer who had a dark side to him. Nice soundtrak, might still be available if you look hard enough.

This is one of the 70s better and most under rated thrillers of that era! It has a fantastic sound track by the maestro, Georges Garvarentz, an intriguing cast (Telly Savalas, Peter Fonda, Hugh O'Brian, O. J. Simpson, Maud Adams and Christopher Lee- the latter two are both excellent in this film!). It's a very thrilling experience, and one I did not forget in a hurry! 10/ 10!!!! AA+++
