Title: Trying Too Hard-Boiled
Review: I thought this would be enjoyably bad but it was just plain lousy. The lead character is idiotically invincible in every way, like James Bond meets the Terminator meets John Holmes. The plot is all about revenge for childhood mistreatment by villians who are one hundred percent bad. Our hero uses bullets and a conveniently infinite pile of cash to get what he wants. The whole thing is self consciously "seedy" and "sexy" in a way that a junior high age boy might have found impressive in 1979. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there's also an anti-gravity invention tossed in, with about as much relevence as a space ship in the Maltese Falcon. I've read some Spillane before and I know he's not Shakespeare, but skip this one.
