Night Of The Juggler (1980)
 

This gritty NY based crime flick is sadly over looked. Why it hasn't had a DVD release really boggles the mind. Amityville Horror's James Brolin plays a divorcee who goes head to head with a kidnapper (and the sleazy underbelly of New York city) after his daughter is mistaken for a rich business man's kid. great stuff that everyone should track down and check out. They just don't make shit like this anymore :(

I sadly haven't seen that movie, but I did read the book. It was by William P. McGivern and written in 1975.

Read it a long time ago, but I have good (but vague) memories. Would love to see the film, but it doesn't look llike it is too easy to come by.

Great film - crazy non-stop pace..

Yeh it's unrelenting pacing. You just get caught up in the ride. Not many films pull that kinda shit off. On a side note Walter Hill was brilliant at that kinda deal.
