A professional killer comes out of retirement to investigate and avenge the brutal murder of an old friend.
Clement Moloch is a doctor, but instead of using his skills to heal he uses them to torture. He works for governments including the U.S. who wants insurgents dealt with. Now several of his victims want him dead and after several attempts fail. Holland, a retried killer for hire, is informed of the death of an old friend who was trying to kill Moloch. Holland initially stating that he is retired doesn’t take the job. But he changes his mind. He asks for woman and a child to accompany him so that he could appear to be a family man. And the woman who goes with him is the wife of his friend, who brings her daughter along. When Holland arrives he notices that Moloch is heavily protected so he starts by taking out his people.
“Fact that ‘The Evil That Men Do’, Mr. Bronson’s latest, nominally concerns itself with human-rights violations merely makes the violence all the juicier. Mr. Bronson is stony as ever and a little more nattily dressed.” – The New York Times
“The film does succeed in its primary goal, to provide 90 minutes of fast-moving and fairly exciting action.” – TV Guide
“Charles Bronson gives his very best performance as a man known only by the name of Holland. He’s vivid and forceful, alright, but he also puts some welcome ironic spin into his interpretation.” – eFilmCritic
