"Bronson "lite"
26 November 2019
There is no Paul Kersey simply blowing away bad guys. Bronson plays a Phoenix police officer on a mission to bring back from Switzerland totally ditzy mob mol Jill Ireland. Mob boss, Rod Steiger, reluctantly agrees to put out a hit on his "main squeeze" to prevent her testifying against him. Enter Paul Koslo and Henry Silva as the hired assassins. With this powerhouse cast, what could possibly go wrong? Well, once the scene shifts to Switzerland, quite a bit. Visually the viewer doesn't miss much in the way of scenery. Snow covered peaks abound, as well as a travelog of transportation methods. Planes, helicopters, trains, aerial trams, boats, all are on display, as Bronson and Ireland flee for their lives. Henry Silva is especially wasted, with little presence, and then he just kind of disappears. Other familiar faces with little to do, include Strother Martin and Val Avery. The film is like "Bronson Lite", but nevertheless totally watchable. - MERK
