Stranger than fiction/disjointed
11 September 2023
Entertaining in a strange sort of way. Not sure who the editor was on this film but the husband was seen driving a particular car in one scene but in the same scene after a short break when you see his wife opening a trunk low and behold he's in a different car??

Near the end of the movie when the police are chasing him in the dark dressed as a woman, low and behold he opoens a gate and its broad daylight. The film was littered with these amusing mistakes. Having noticed these badly put together scenes, I spent most of the movie looking for more, in that this kept me entertained when the actual script did not.

Mediocre and Cruel
19 April 2023
The film was ok, spoilt in my opinion by the cruel use of trip wires to bring down the horses during the battle scenes.

My guess is that several horses most probably lost their lives in the making of this motion picture.

I thought the casting of some of the actors was quite strange Sharif was believeable in his roll as Khan, Mason and Morely as Chinese characters, come on and Eli Wallach, I was waiting for the jokes.

All in all the film was ok but could have been so much better and the battle scenes should have been supervised and sanctioned by relevant persons. The film was directed well but the casting was awful.
