Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
maurinquina Hello everyone, I know from searching the internet high and low both in the US and Europe that this film is very hard to find . Recently I was able to watch it in great quality with good sound from NetFlix . It's available at NetFlix as instant watching . No idea how they were able to source out a decent copy but they did . The film itself is a great reminder of times past especially if your in your 40's and you all know who you are :) The fashion, cars and constant cigarette smoking takes you all back . Btw I had to give it a 10 because I grew up in Austria . Hello everyone, I know from searching the internet high and low both in the US and Europe that this film is very hard to find .

John Seal At first, this completely bizarre Ivan Passer film seems like it's going to be an intriguing if fairly routine drama about insider trading. Omar Sharif plays Andre Ferren, a completely corrupt European businessman who's been cooking the books and gets caught out by an auditor. He's enamored of co-worker Susan Winters (Karen Black, quite charming even when decked out in '70s era non-finery), and convinces her to help him out by wedding a wealthy industrialist (Bernhard Wicki) for his money. Things get progressively stranger as Susan hooks up with an American cowboy (the hopelessly boring Joseph Bottoms) and drags him off to a hillside castle, whilst the eternally priapic Andre has an unfortunate encounter with a masseuse (Elma Karlowa from Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul). This is not a particularly good film, but it isn't boring and it certainly defies expectations.
thonars It's really unbelievable, how Ivan Passer, director, who has proved his talent several times, could shoot so stupid movie and waste talents of the actors, composer as well as the writer of the original story. This film is a true example of how to mess up just ANYTHING that could have been done wrong on a film. Story is being told in a way that even a horror enthusiast kid would not believe any single situation. Actors are playing so poorly, that I was asking thousand times how the hell could any director let these particular actors act so bad. Don't waste even a single minute watching this stupid caricature of a feature film. What a shame for the director!
Brian Ellis Pretty awful. This film contains the trinity of bad movies - bad story, bad acting and bad camerawork. After 10 minutes I was ready for the film to end. Joe Bottoms' brothers can act but in this film it is apparent that Joe can only ski well. Vangelis' score was good but it seemed like it belonged in another film and not this one. As for the ending - who knows? The only good thing about this movie was the cannon sequence but even that brings up a lot of questions, the main one being - are cannons in old castles usually left loaded? Just one problem out of many.
