Viewing Notes
watching for my Lee Van Cleef project… just wish LVC was in this more. He’s given a good character too. Overall pretty slow and not the same film I remember as a kid. Chuck is good but only a few scenes make this worth viewing. I don’t know why Ernie Hudson is introduced and not given anything to do. That’s a shame.
