Plot

Ex-mobster Keaton (Abe Vigoda), now living in a retirement home, narrowly misses being the target of a mob hit. Police officers Jake Barber (Don Rickles), who has known Keaton for a long time, and violent Mike Gable (Lee Majors), who takes an immediate disliking to the aging gangster, are called in to investigate a string of murders targeting senior citizens and to protect Keaton. When Barber gets caught in the crossfire of a pair of hit men, Gable and Keaton are forced to get along while they search for the killer.

Cast

Reception

"This is a silly movie that won't be taken seriously by anyone who sees it (or even by the characters who are in it), but it's a goofy good time that sees Majors playing a bit off his own tough guy persona.”, wrote Rob Hunter for Slashfilm. [7]
