This was a film which slipped past my Wahlberg radar in his early years. He gives a very good and mature performance again as a naive kid wannabe conman, where more experienced Paxton takes him under his wing, where they pull in some moolah, with some impressive scams. They're part of a gypsy community, run by Askew in a great performance. A third party, Gammon joins the two. Highly entertaining, with really good performances, Traveller sort of impresses, sort of paving the way, for the later much more famous Matchstick Men, which like that film, mirrors a quite frightening, lucrative rip off, come back to bite you on the a**e situation, nearing the end. I am a sucker for the end credit song, which I really like. How the film cheekily starts off, I loved, a favorite Roy big O Orbison song plays over it. Sit in for a much entertaining night, with this obscure title, I highly recommend. How this Wahlberg title slipped past me, I don't know.

This keen effort won't join the ranks of Hooper's other films. EA is repulsive, predictable, has some nice T and A, good acting, but adds up to small limited film, where we pretty know what will ensue all through. We have a dirty faced, long haired hermit/motel owner who keeps this rather spectacular alligator to finish off and devour his brutalized and attacked victims, by use of a deadly looking sickle. Mel Ferrer is a standout, trying to track his other daughter down, whose fate you probably already assume. Our lead is solid too, really bringing authenticity to his crazed looped character. A very young Robert England, years prefore a movie franchise which would make him an iconic horror villain, is fun to watch as a horny bad boy. We kind of have a real annoying overacted child performance too. EA is a movie that pretty much doesn't really have anywhere to go. We do have some really good lashings of violence and bloodletting, but it just add up to a satisfying horror experience. It's in desperate need of suspense and thrills but falls to painfully predictability.

Headlining this appreciative Brritish T and A exploitation piece, with "Walking Down The Street" our stud Casanova, bearing presents for each of his ladies, not always the ones he intended the presents for, including a non lady, what is the whole point of this movie? Intriguing it is, through the sexual imaginations of our Peter, one meeting, which for me, turns predictably nasty, this is just an eye candy feature, one moment, bordering on an X rating moment. Not saying this isn't impressive, but I was expecting story. The regular meat cutting clips conveyed to me, the women for Peter were just pieces of meat. But who knows what is going on through Peter' s head. The ending, one of painful disillusion. Just really good expolitation, with slight humour, some real tenderness and presnts Nothing more.
