Movie Reviews

Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kevin MaherPulp is an underrated comedic masterpiece.
PopMatters - 7/10 by Michael BarrettIt functions less as a pulpy mystery or gangster tale than as a spoof of same, albeit a spoof that retains a noirish sense of fate and power.
CinePassion - 4/10 by Fernando F. CroceHodges avails himself of the private-eye genre's deaths, sex and homophobia, yet comedy loosens his nihilism
User Review - 10/10 by monsieur rThis underrated & understated ingenious gem of a film is as clever and hilarious as Michael Caine is English. Easily one of the best movies ever made!
User Review - 8/10 by Naomi G"Hodges avails himself of the private-eye genre's deaths, sex and homophobia, yet comedy loosens his nihilism" i liked this and also this is the last movie (so far) of lizabeth scott one of my fave actresses
User Review - 8/10 by Toni SOnly for fans of Michael Caine, Mickey Roony and Nadia Cassini...or die-hard followers of movies made in Malta.
User Review - 8/10 by Peter KBrilliant. Mickey King: Then I read in The Guiness Book of Records about Erle Stanley Gardner, the world's fastest writer, who can dictate up to the rate of 10,000 words a day. That was for me. None of that romantic stuff with a typewriter. I had better uses for those two particular fingers.
User Review - 8/10 by Marj DMarvellous! Michael Caine has just the right deadpan delivery of lines for this black comedy and Mickey Rooney is perfect as Preston Gilbert. I saw this at the Edinburgh Film Festival with a Q&A by the director Mike Hodges. He said the studio were not keen for Rooney to play the part and tried to suggest all sorts of other actors, including Victor Mature. Hodges held out for Mickey Rooney though and thank goodness he did!
User Review - 8/10 by Tom MMichael Caine plays a sharp and observant writer of pot-boiling pulp fiction who is just barely sharp and observant enough to stay alive but not out of trouble when he's hired to write a bio of a fading Hollywood star with mob connections. And those connections fear the story he writes will reveal an old secret. Caine is perfectly sharp in the role, and Mickey Rooney plays his part to the hilt as the aging and self-absorbed star. The movie is a perfect rainy-day British who-dunnit romp.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CCaine and Hodges re-teamed after "Get Carter" to make this crime film. However, where "Get Carter" was a tough, mean, tale of revenge, this one goes more for parody of crime films with mixed results. Worth watching though.
