Michael Winner’s films aren’t complete without a lot of blood, and this one has enough to fill a bucket or two.<\/p>\n
James Coburn is the retired hitman who comes back in to kidnap a certain Karl Stegner, a mysterious and very wealthy man wanted by the IRS and various other federal agencies.<\/p>\n
Coburn teams up mainly with OJ Simpson, with some dubious assistance from Sophia Loren, and we have a 70s high-tech sort of caper. Lots of gadgetry, most of it explosive, large quantities of double-crossing and shooting, plenty of pretty shots of the Caribbean from floating gin palaces, and a plot of such ludicrous over-complexity that it’s silly.<\/p>\n
It was obviously immense fun to make: several very large houses get burned down, bulldozed and otherwise trashed. As do various means of transportation. With lots of explosions and shooting.<\/p>\n
It’s implausible and it’s almost impossible to understand why anyone would do what these people do, but apparently this is what they do. Bullets fly and things blow up.<\/p>\n
There is an awful lot of frenetic activity, constantly accompanied by the sound of gunfire with regular scenes of conflagration.<\/p>\n
Did I mention that there’s a lot of shooting and explosions in this? In case I didn’t, there is, as well as a very confusing plot.<\/p>\n
