Dirty O'Neil is a 1974 action/crime movie starring Morgan Paull, Art Metrano, and Pat Anderson. The film follows the story of a Vietnam veteran named Dirty O'Neil who returns home to find his hometown overrun with crime and corruption. Unable to ignore the injustice, Dirty O'Neil decides to take matters into his own hands and rid the town of the criminals that plague it.

The movie opens with Dirty O'Neil returning home to California after serving in the Vietnam War. He quickly discovers that his hometown has changed and is now overrun with drug dealers, pimps, and other criminals. The police force is ineffective, and the town is almost entirely controlled by a sleazy businessman named Max Werndorf (Art Metrano).

After witnessing the police's inability to stop a pimp from mistreating a prostitute, Dirty O'Neil decides he needs to take matters into his own hands. He starts by gathering evidence against Max Werndorf, hoping to bring him down by exposing his criminal activities. To do this, Dirty enlists the help of a former flame, Annie (Pat Anderson), who now works at Max's casino.

As Dirty O'Neil begins his mission, he quickly becomes a thorn in Max's side. Max, unwilling to let Dirty take down his empire, sends his men to threaten and intimidate him. Dirty, undeterred, continues his investigation and soon discovers the extent of Max's criminal activities.

The action in Dirty O'Neil is fast-paced and exciting, with plenty of car chases, shootouts, and hand-to-hand combat. Morgan Paull gives a convincing performance as the tough and determined Dirty O'Neil, while Art Metrano's portrayal of Max Werndorf is appropriately slimy and devious.

Pat Anderson also shines as Annie, Dirty's former flame who helps him take down Max's criminal empire. While her character's role in the film is somewhat limited, Anderson imbues Annie with a sense of toughness and resourcefulness that is admirable.

Overall, Dirty O'Neil is a solid B-movie that entertains with its action-packed storyline and tough-as-nails characters. While the film may not have the polish and sophistication of a big-budget Hollywood production, it certainly delivers on its promise of non-stop action and excitement.

If you enjoy classic 70s action movies with a hard-edged protagonist who takes no prisoners, Dirty O'Neil is definitely worth checking out. While it may not be a masterpiece of cinema, it delivers what it promises - an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed ride through a world of crime, corruption, and redemption.

Dirty O'Neil is a 1974 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
