The Squeeze

interesting one this,came out in 1977,then disappeared,showed up on a rental early 1980,but never seemed to get a tv showing,plays like a sweeney episode although it`s more on the criminal side of things,known for the only film role of Freddie star,the uk comedian,ok crime thriller that does drag a bit,last vhs outing was from a ntsc tape which looked awful due to being presented in long play,don`t go there,feel like you have the wrong glasses on,just the pits for modern led tv`s.Now we have another great warner bros archive release which does the movie proud,crystal clear picture,you can see and feel the grime of the london underground at the begining of this flick,good mono sound,no widescreen,but does not matter as movie in the cinema was only 35mm.Worth a buy just for the many brit actors in it,although it`s hollywood produced,these archive series of movies are great for seeing something that`s never before been on home video or you saw on good old betamax and never had a second chance again,go buy now.

have been after this film for years.one of the best things that stacy keach has done.ratio 1.85.1.mono.picture a bit soft.but worth every penny.just a good tough thriller excellent performances from all the cast including freddie starr in his onlyfilm role.look out for stephen boyd playing an irish gangster.i don,t want to give to much of the plot away.stacy keach is a alcoholic ex cop whose ex wife has been kidnapped by david hemmings and crew.stacy keach becomes involved when her husband played by edward fox thinks she is possibly with keach.fox owns a money moving company.watch as all this comes together just to say they all under estimate keach.carol white gets her kit off not a pretty sight apart from that a brilliant flick.

I always loved this film right from when I watched on Five in 1999. Very thrillering and should get the same respect as Get Carter and The Long Good Friday. Great performance from Stacy Keach as an alcoholic ex Scotland Yard Copper Jim Naboth who is searching for his ex wife (Carol White) and her daughter. Freddie Starr steal the show as Naboth's friend Teddy. Also great performance from David Hemmings & Stephen Boyd as the sadistic kidnappers robbers.Get this film NOW!!!!

This film is very much of its time: a rougher version of the Sweeney in style. I wanted to see it for its unusual sequence of 1970s London locations. The DVD itself plays fine in the optical drive of my computer - no regional restrictions despite being sourced from US.

Been trying for an eternity to get this on UK DVD format...As I bought a region free DVD player from Amazon market place, this allowed me to buy this American Import, played with no issues.Fantastic film, as i remembered it, Stacy Keach is great as the down and out ex-private investigator drunk, and the cameo appearance from Freddie Starr adds a touch of humour.A classic british film which is just under the radar....Buy It guys !!!

Almost on a par with Get Carter and The Long Good Friday. Terrific brit gangter film with the excellent Keach and strong supporting cast. No gimmicks like the 90s efforts.

This is a very good film. Great locations of London along with a great cast and some good performances. Carol White plays a great role in this her penultimate film role. Well worth watching this rare and not often seen movie.

Good film. Saw it at the cinema nearly 40 years ago. Holds up well with time with some good acting
