I thought "Any movie with George C. Scott has to have something on the ball...!" I was wrong.
This is the only movie that has moved me enough to want to write a review for IMDb.
There's not a single good performance in the movie. Scott's is best, clocking in at "not too bad" which is a gross disappointment for an actor of his caliber. Ali MacGraw is painful to watch. It goes downhill from there, one awkward scene with stilted dialog after another.
Where was the director? Busy having lunch during the whole shooting?
About the only positive reaction I have is the photography, giving a nice flavor of mainland China and Hong Kong.
I am so glad I didn't actually pay money to watch this.
