     John Wayne brings the heat to Seattle in this entertaining detective drama. Someone’s been gunning down a slew of Seattle’s finest, including Wayne’s partner. Big mistake. Wayne suspects the involvement of the city’s biggest drug lord, and a confrontation with him leads to Wayne’s resignation from the force. Well they may take away Wayne’s piece and badge but they’ll never take his commitment to justice (or his unlicensed firearms). He uncovers a plot to steal a load of seized narcotics set for incineration, but will he be implicated in the process? Exciting, fast-paced and action-packed this is a far cry from war-torn Asia or Western-era Monument Valley, but Wayne still delivers.
