Credits: director, Robert T. Heffron ; writer, Larry Cohen ; novel, Mickey Spillane. Cast: Armand Assante, Barbara Carrera, Laurence Landon. Summary: Detective/mystery film set in contemporary New York City. An updated remake of a 1953 film. Private investigator Mike Hammer (Assante) vows revenge at all costs when an old Vietnam war buddy is brutally murdered. He learns that his friend frequented an upstate New York sex clinic run by the suspicious Dr. Charlotte Bennett (Carrera) who slyly evades the detective’s questions. The more Hammer probes into the case, the more the death toll rises. The investigation leads to a former CIA operative.
