This is a pretty bad attempt at film noir and it also tries to be like Dirty Harry and fails. This was directed by Robert Aldrich and it's a shame since he directed a lot of great movies like Vera Cruz, Attack and The Dirty Dozen. Burt Reynolds plays a lieutenant who's girlfriend is a prostitute, played by Catherine Deneuve, and his partner like to beat up suspects. A young prostitute is found dead on the beach and they think it's a suicide but the girl's father, played by Ben Johnson, thinks otherwise and tries to investigate himself. Ernest Borgnine plays Reynolds boss who wants the case closed and Eddie Albert plays a lawyer who might have something to do the case. It's a pretty crappy movie and the ending just does not work whatsoever.
