06.27.08Netflix This is maybe the most expensive netflix rental ever. I dont even want to admit how long this has been on my desk waiting for me to watch it. I am fully ashamed.

It's also been fairly hyped up for me. I've seen the beginning chase/shootout on Alamo prerolls several times, heard about how badass Bronson and Savalas are, and have had it generally set up as an underrated Italian crime movie.

Um, I liked it ok. I LOVED the elevator scene toward the end. That was awesome. Mostly though, I was pretty cold on it. Guess I just never got fully on board or it was missing something for me or soemthing because I could never really get into it. Several moments are pretty cool but way too much time passes between each one and - maybe it's a personal preference or whatever - although the girl was pretty hot I didn't read Bronson's self-destructive need to be with her.

oh well.
