Watched Don Siegel ruin the end of his career with a Michael Caine movie in 1974 - The Black Windmill. So fucking inept. Editing and script were so bad.

Really ?

Clint raved about Siegel and said he was a massive influence. Even the greats have shit moments.

Tim

@mn5 Yeah, Siegel was a great director, but this one was a turd.

Paydirt
I don't know how or why I downloaded this. But a pox on whatever was the catalyst.
Just shitty. Characters are introduced with cheesy on-screen comic-style graphics, proudly proclaiming "The Brit", "The Babe", "The BadAss", "The Brawn", "The Brains", and probably some other shit I forgot.
It seems to be building up for some sort of heist, but with nothing really happening.

And then "Pow" - the protagonists are flying away... and suddenly we've got the classic "this is how the heist was pulled off" exposition flash-back scenes.
Except... there was no fucking heist. And I think that's supposed to be the clever twist? Maybe?
That there never needed to be a heist, cause it was already done? Except... nah, just shit.
The genius move the main guy did, was going to prison for 6 years. Somehow, that's the clever bit.
Just... pretty shit.

Titwatch: zero
Heists: zero
Action scenes: zero
Clever twists: zero
Val Kilmers: 1. Well, maybe 0.5 - he looked half-dead - and I think that was only partially intentional

Bones

@tim don't even need to watch it, the title was enough.

Bones

@kruse you chose to watch a movie where the title actor is Bros. Oh man.

mariner4life

@kruse you are doing God's work, warning us off movies none of us would ever actually watch anyway

Michael Caine made some pretty shit movies in the '70's. Jaws:The Revenge is staggeringly bad.

Great actor though.

Least he was always honest about why he took on shit movies, for the money.
Think he even said the only reason he starred in Jaws 4 was he wanted to buy a new house or something.

Thought he was great in the Dark Knight trilogy, that kinda balances the shit ones out.

I'm getting a little concerned about @Kruse . It seems to be self harming.

Well - he's added another string to his bow of shitty things he's provided to the world.
