Cold Sweat star Charles Bronson as a average guy who's past catches up with him in the form of four criminals led by James Mason. The issues with this movie start with Mason-I know that sounds absurd and this is probably the only time. What makes him so distinguished is his terrific voice, accent and speaking manner which is absent here. Instead you got him putting on a really bad American accent which is so bad it sounds dubbed by another actor.

The first half or more of this movie is actually okay. One thing happens after another and Bronson's character deals with it smartly-at least for the most part. But once it hits a third act mark it falls to pieces. There's a couple overly extended, boring sequences like a speeding car and a chase before it ends on a boat in a tension less finish.

The most watchable things in this movie are Bronson's perfect biceps. Holy smokes does he look good in that black t-shirt.

Other than that it seems I'm watching a foreign-language film shot in super low-def. Everybody's voice except Bronson's sounds dubbed. My gawd James Mason with that attempt at an American accent. Made even more ridiculous by that blue sailor-boy cap. I'd like to think I'll never see a worse performance by Mason.

Liv Ullman must have been in between gigs playing a depressed Swede in one suicidal movie or another. She was gorgeous, but there's no way she knew a lick of English.

There's some guy name Katanga who spends half the movie polishing his pistol. I kept waiting for him to shoot someone, anyone.
