Quirky... But Ultimately Boring

Fabio Testi stars with off-screen squeeze, Ursula Andress, and that stalwart of character actors, Eli Wallach, in Maurizio Lucidi's take on the 'heist gone wrong'. Testi has just been released from a Canadian jail and has been given 48 hours to leave the country (being an 'American citizen'), so what does he do? He teams up with Wallach and rob a jewelry store. But it goes wrong: a customer is shot and after a car chase (with some interesting continuity errors in it), they escape and split up, Wallach heading straight for the border, whilst Testi takes the scenic route and prompty ends up crashing the car (clumsy!). He finds refuge in a motel and in the arms of languid Andress. The jewels go missing, Andress wants to leave with Testi, the mechanic gets killed, the storyline becomes more preposterous. The ending is clearly signposted and in all, this is a forgetable film. If you want to see the handsome Testi in something better, watch his Spaghetti Western films...

Customer Review

This may not be the worst movie I have ever watched but it must come close.

The picture quality is like a bad VHS rather than DVD.

The dubbing is awful.

Even the lovely Ursula Andress looks like a dog.

Avoid.
