Viewing Notes
Great cast but sadly poor execution by Margheriti. It’s a head-scratcher how he can so under-utilize Lee Van Cleef and not squeeze a drop of chemistry between Jim Brown, The Hammer and Jim Kelly. Weird. This isn’t a terrible watch but from the opening setup you feel like there’s gonna be more. But it just becomes less and less. Definitely an odd duck where everyone here is better elsewhere. I give it a bump for at least assembling this cast.
