Viewing Notes

For my Bronson Project. First I gotta say that I love when Bronson calls his colleagues “You son of a bitch!” It’s so great.

Mea culpa: watched on my flight to SFO under less than desirable conditions (middle seat, fielding skype messages, reviewing PPT decks, etc.) so I feel I didn’t give the film, Michael Winner or Bronson the due respect. So I will definitely make a point to revisit soon. I need to get the DVD or buy the streaming version on Amazon.

The premise of the film is good but it misses the mark by the end. There are *three* car chases staged quite well. Bronson is typically good and at home in this role as a police detective. There’s enough here to warrant revisiting.
