L'arme au poing

Director/Writer Michael Winner (best known for the "Death Wish" Series) is in Full-Throttle Mode in this Picturesque Satirical Blood-Bath.

Watch for a Boat-Scene where James Coburn is Literally Soaking a Bad-Guy with the Red-Stuff to Attract Sharks and Extract Information.

Roger Moore Bond Movies Take-Off that is an Enjoyable Grotesque.

A Sleek Presentation, the Best that Money Can Buy, Colorful and Calamitous, Colliding Confusion that is One Jaw-Dropping Scene After Another.

A Good-Looking Example of Sophomoric Bloat that Hollywood Churns-Out Routinely because it Sells.

A Fun Name-Cast and an Over-the-Top Crowd-Pleasing Picture that Wraps Up the 70's "Nicely" with an Explanation Point that Says "Having Fun Yet".

One of the Unintended Ironies is Watching O. J. Simpson Joking About Murder and this Joyful Guilty-Pleasure Never Stops.

Sophia Loren, James Coburn, O. J. Simpson, Eli Wallach, Anthony Franciosa, George Grizzard, and Vinnie Gardina all Think this is a Hoot.

And it is...

Worth a Watch.
