John Lomax breaks into the prison where Kagan is being held to seek his own justice at the same time that Kagan is conducting a prison break of his own.

Cast



Production



Larry Cohen did some uncredited work on the script. He later recalled:

I only did a little work on 'The Expert'. My daughter, Jill Gatsby, wrote that movie. I just got the job for her, thats all. I really had nothing to do with the film, so I couldnt comment on it. I saw The Expert, but I dont remember much. I thought it was passable. The movie was supposed to be a remake of 'Brute Force' but it wasnt very good. Once again, somebody fucked around with the script.Doyle, Michael, 'Larry Cohen: The Stuff of Gods and Monsters' Bear Manor Media, 2015 p 360
