| 04.21.06 | Internet | A mid-70s story about street fighter Charles Bronson and his wiley manager James Coburn. It felt like a brother of movies like The Cincinnati Kid and The Color of Money to me... except this one interested me by having Bronson take the "title" pretty easily without the usual drama and tension. The real turn comes after he's won, which is something you don't see too often. Bronson's his usual squinty stoic self, and Coburn plays fast-talker pretty well with his super-long arms. It's a pretty solid movie... and it has some sweet mid-70s New Orleans scenery too. |
