| User ReviewGabriela FI loved this. Ordered it on Amazon. Surprisingly touching. |
| User ReviewSandy RKudos for the Warner Archive label from The States for having the conviction of fishing out obscure and lesser known movies for a wider reissue as this tough and well acted thriller from 1972 proves. Oliver Reed plays Harry Lomart a dangerous armed robber who plans to break out of prison and kill his wife after he discovers she is seeing another man. After a spell in solitary Lomart escapes with his fellow inmate Birdy played by IanMcShane buys a deadly Masur rifle and begins to hunt down his wife played by Jill St John while trying to saty one step ahead of Edward Woodwards dooged police Inspector. The fact that this film is obscure should not detract from the fact that its excellent in every way as Reed proves that he was capable of greatness despite all the headlines and hell raising,his performance is the centarl prop of the film and its one of his best. McShane makes a great foil to Reeeds brawn and Jill St John plays the straying wife to perfection. Director Douglas Hickox would go on the direct the Wonderful Theatre of Blood makes good use of the crumbling 70S London locale and the final twist and denoument is very much in the Get Cater mould . |
| User Reviewdelysid dever since i saw the great obscene movie THE DEVILS i have been a fan of oliver reed. hes a somewhat obscure actor at this point in time but he was great. this movie is one of his best. he breaks out of jail to kill his wife |
| User ReviewScott JOliver Reed I am told puked on Steve McQueen? Ian McShane pulls off the pretty boy psychopath as well as Reed pulls off the lonely white hunter. Professionals. Some great moments of the 70s in this piece: - Harry killed a postman? - People just do not foam at the mouth as much as they used to, do they? - some use in kicking a dead dog - 40.41 violence against pornos - english motorcycles explodes - violence against all of british ladies' unmentionables - day/night/day again is pretty priceless Women. Damnit. |
