Murder Times Seven

For the third time, Lieutenant Janek is forced to face alone a difficult case, which has some brutal murders that way involving some bigwigs of the underworld. The case is complicated by the fact that one of the victims is his friend Ray Kiley. During the investigation Janek finds out that Kiley worked for counterintelligence.

Directed by Jud Taylor, Murder Times Seven leans on a strong ensemble — Richard Crenna, Susan Blakely, Cliff Gorman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1990.
