Saving a friend

This full length Mike Hammer mystery has Stacy Keach at his tough guy best saving a friend who happens to be a detective who from what I could tell was there quite coincidentally at the scene of a high stakes poker game that is robbed and two men killed. Nevertheless Don Stroud who is also shot in the back gets himself indicted. It throws the film off kilter.

Still Keach is great in the part and other performances to watch for are Verna Bloom as Hammer's secretary, Robyn Douglass as an undercover fed, Tim McIntire as a country singer and Richard Romanus as a federal witness who's not quite kosher.

Still the script could have used some fine tuning.
