Movie Reviews of The Fifth Cord
Movie Review: nero stands out.
Summary: 4 Stars
Giallos are great type of thriller to enjoy , not all of them have
superbloody gory killings. Some like 'knife of ice" barely show any killing. Film noir and the films of Alfred Hitchcock also can be within this genre as well as splatter flicks that are decended from mario bava's "bay of blood." This is a story driven giallo in which the hero of the story only becomes less of a drunken loser through trying to find out who this killer is. At first he doesn't care and he's not a nice person , in fact he slaps around one of his girlfriends while drunk. But by the end of the movie he's ready to risk his life for others. Franco Nero, who is a fantastic actor who pulls this transformation off nicely. Blue Underground cleaned this movie up too. I always buy blue underground movies because you know that they care about making a movie look good.
Of late the major studios have also been cleaning up their movies on blu ray, a field that blue underground is also entering into.
Too many other companies just sling out bad prints and don't even bother to try to fix them. If you like mysteries and thrillers and don't expect a gore fest then you will enjoy figuring out who the killer is. I have seen many giallos and didn't guess who it was or why the killings were occurring until the last scene. This was just a great flick in a cool type of movie from the ultra cool 1970's. The heyday of all kinds of giallos also known as thrillers and mystery movies.
Summary of The Fifth Cord
"I am going to commit murder," intones the faceless killer. "I can imagine the thrill and pleasure I will experience as I stalk my victim. There must be no mistakes!" But when four trendy socialites are brutally murdered, an alcoholic reporter (a terrific performance by Franco Nero) begins to unravel a twisted trail of clues. Can this desperate journalist stop a depraved psychopath before he himself becomes the fifth victim?THE FIFTH CORD has it all: kinky sex, shocking violence, stunning cinematography by Oscar(r) winner Vittorio Storaro (BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, APOCALYPSE NOW), a classic score by Ennio Morricone, and much more. Pamela Tiffin (THE PLEASURE SEEKERS), Silvia Monti (LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN), Edmund Purdom (PIECES), Agostina Belli (REVOLVER) and Ira von Furstenberg (5 DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON) co-star in this superior giallo directed by Luigi Bazzoni now transferred from the original camera negative in High Definition and available in America for the first time ever.
