This is a pretty top-notch Giallo. It has George Hilton, Luigi Pistilli, a black hatted killer, bloody murder set pieces, sexy 70s European fashion, wonderful cinematic compositions, a dissonant score by Bruno Nicolai and oodles upon oodles of J & B Scotch Whiskey. On top of all that, a story that actually makes sense (a Giallo rarity!), you be twisting and turning until the very end.
Lacks the pacing that could have made this a great spy thriller, and many of the performances are quite wooden. However, the climax is quite well done and makes up for much of the ho hum middle.
A lot of people said this was horrible, but I didn’t mind it so much. Funny but completely lacking in character development.
Entertaining war film parody. A little bit too much of an action film at the end.
Decent animated feature that’s completely cliche, but enjoyable.
A quirky 60’s sci-fi thriller meets bedroom farce. Fairly entertaining but the ending is muddled.
Like a long medicore episode. Very disappointing.
The best bond since the Spy Who Loved Me. The emphasis is on character development instead of over-the-top action sequences. Feels more like the books than most of the films ever did.
Japanese horror that draws almost note for note from Italian gore-maestro Lucio Fulci–synthy score, gratuitous eye gag, sound f/x track that is comprised almost entirely of someone stirring a bowl of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Not quite a classic, but there are some nice misdirections and twists in the set pieces.
Shephen Chow’s family movie that follows the formula laid out in E.T. a couple of decades ago. Chow knows his craft. Just when you think the movie has started to drift off track his pulls it back on track. The ending is a little lame.
