Movie Review: Action-packed Bronson time-filler
Summary: 3 Stars
Typical Bronson actioner where he plays a gun for hire using a helicopter to get American businessman, Robert Duvall, out of a Mexican prison. Randy Quaid plays Bronson's assistant, and Bronson's then real-life wife, Jill Ireland, plays the wife of Duvall desperate to get her husband out. Director Tom Gries also directed the highly acclaimed western, "Will Penny" in 1968.
Made in 1975, this was a signature Bronson film that unfortunately typecast this highly talented actor who was unusually adept at a variety of roles as his wide body of work in film and television and in both the USA and abroad would attest. After these films, Bronson would later star in the highly-successful "Death Wish" series of film for which he is probably most known.
This film's action sequences, especially the helicopter rescue, will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat.
Movie Review: Not as good as it might have been...
Summary: 3 Stars
Here we have a very talkative Charles Bronson in a sub-par prison escape film. It seemed like more of a comedy than anything else. A nice turn by Randy Quaid as Bronsons goofy mechanic and a small part for Duvall. I still can't figure out why on the theatrical poster it shows a helicopter flying with a man dangling from a rope!?! It never happened in this movie but it is fun nonetheless. Just make sure you've checked out The White Buffalo, Stone Killer and St. Ives before you bother with this.
