Review of Hannie Caulder

4/10

Warning: Spoilers
This was like two different films that had been shot by different directors and then woven together.

On one hand we have a revenge movie where the nasty villains who are shown murdering and raping in graphic fashion. On the other hand we have a light-hearted movie with comedy villains doing and saying silly things. Even during the key rape scene where our heroine is brutally beaten and used by the trio of bad men there is still a cut-away to someone comically jumping through a window. And when our heroine catches up with one of the rapists and shoots him he falls through a window and flattens a woman who is walking by.

When our heroine is staying with Christopher Lee (playing a good guy for a change) a group of men turn up and for no apparent reason a gun fight starts. This is never explained.

And more strangely there is a man in black who for no apparent reason turns up at the final confrontation and saves the heroine's life. No explanation of his presence is given.

(the spelling & opinions in this review are all my own)
