“A superior exercise in urban paranoia.”
—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
It’s a bad day at the office for crusty subway cop Lt. Garber (Matthau), when a trench coat-clad quartet of machine-gun wielding villains hold a downtown 6 train hostage for a million dollar ransom. Arguably the ultimate subway flick, this tense, blackly comic urban jungle thriller captures 70s-era Gotham in all its gritty glory.
