El hombre de Río Malo (1971)
Unwatchable
I would cheerfully watch a barrel of manure if it had Lee Van Cleef in
it. But I draw the line at this.
By rights, films this bad should be hilarious. Yet this is anything
but. Why? Partly because it is SUPPOSED to be a comedy (did they decide
that before or after production - difficult to tell). But mostly
because there is no conviction. The over-riding production value is to
go through the motions and get the thing over with. Hence the appalling
score is unhingingly irritating and the "action" is so badly put
together with freeze frames and plot jumps that I assumed my DVD player
was playing up and I took the disk out to clean it. Sadly it didn't
help. An electric sander might have improved matters by making the
thing impossible to play. This film is drivel. Avoid.
