A feel good gritty action crime drama about a Mob Operative Merle "Butcher" Hench (Eric Roberts) who was associated with gangster Murdoch (Robert Davi) who betrays him by setting Merle up for the trap but Merle escapes and finds love with the waitress named Jackie who has big dreams.
Romance blooms for Merle and Jackie before Murdoch and the creeps set their sights after the dirty money some of the of laundered cash Merle stole for a chance to start fresh with Jackie but leftover unfinished business leads to a final confrontation.
Taking down several of Murdoch's elite enforcers a shootout between Merle and Murdoch commences but a little laugh until Murdoch dies of his injuries.
Jackie soon drives Merle to the hospital but Merle has something for Jackie regarding his winnings from the horse derby he wanted Jackie to have his earnings never wanting to his side Merle assures Jackie that she's gonna be okay. Sadly Merle passed on and Jackie has open a resturant in Vegas naming its Merle's in his memory and wonders what could have been if he had survived.
This is what I called a nitty gritty 70s style Action Crime drama of the prime.
Watch it you'll be on the edge of your seats when you bite the Butcher, the Butcher BITES BACK!!
