The movie starts off well enough with a cheesy rock score by Anton Garcia Abril that leads into a cool psychedelic credit sequence but it’s all downhill from there. Peter Martell, who made a lot of spaghetti westerns, is a less than likable lead; a swarthy brute with John Wayne delivery who’s always getting the gun knocked out of his hand. Martell is Mike Rand, an ex-Treasury agent who, we are told, was discharged from a high security post `for the good of the nation.’ He must be a bad boy, all right.<\/p>\n
Rand says `man’ a lot and sweatily muscles his way into bed with the high-class likes of Anita Ekberg. Her name’s Lou and she runs a women’s spa when she’s not shooting up drugs. Ekberg looks pretty darn good for a strung out junkie but she’s not given nearly enough to do here.<\/p>\n
The other big star, the one who’s given way too much to do is Dana Andrews. Andrews is Kelly, Rand’s boss, and he’s in on a surprising amount of the action in the film. One wonders why, exactly. Andrews seems pretty deep into the sauce and his boot-blacked hair doesn’t melt away the years the way they thought it would.<\/p>\n
To sum up, aside from a couple of bright spots, this is not really a good or fun film. You would have to be in a pretty tight spot to want to spend your time with Mike Rand, man.<\/p>\n
