Filmes

Sweeney 2
Colly
The plot is set on a group of bank robbers, who are both violent and successful, strangely getting away each time with an amount around the £60,000 mark, and often leaving behind cash in excess of this sum. The robbers are willing to kill their own team, to get away. As Jack Regan himself puts it after the first raid in the film: "I've never seen so many dead people". Armed with gold-plated Purdey shotguns, they evaded Regan and the Flying Squad for quite some time, before Regan finds encouragement from his Detective Chief Superintendent who was sent down for corruption because Jack wouldn't testify in court for him.

Renegado Impiedoso
Gavin Malechie
Charles Bronson (Sete Homens e Um Destino) e o vencedor do Oscar Jack Palance (Amigos, Sempre Amigos) estrelam este magnífico western tão selvagem e indomado quando o próprio Velho Oeste. Queimando com dinâmicas sequências de ação e excelentes performances, Renegado Impiedoso é um audacioco conto de paixão, vingança e assassinato a sangue-frio. Chato (Bronson) é um índio Apache mestiço que vive na linha entre duas culturas, balanceando a sua lealdade e sua tribo com o encantamento que tem pelo mundo dos brancos. Mas quando Chato mata um cruel xerife em legítima-defesa, ele se vê caçado por um bando de assassinos liderados pelo impiedoso Quincey Whitmore (Palance), um ex-soldado Confederado que está determinado a vê-lo enforcado. São 13 homens contra um, mas a situação muda a favor de Chato quando ele guia seus perseguidores até o território apache, onde o difícil e cruel deserto consegue matar tanto quanto as balas de um atirador.
