Average, but funny and could have been better

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2004)

The counter-culture, anti-heroic cynicism are past their sell by dates, giving the film a really dated feel. But KH is still funny. Eastwood's character really gets lost, Sutherland, Rickles and Savalas steal the show. Ending was weak. Theme song was puzzling. Overall an average film that should have been better, given the sharp, quirky story and strong cast.
Interesting to contrast KH with Catch 22. Both cynical, anti authoritarian black comedies made at about the same time. KH has a lighter tone and an at least nominally believable story, while Catch 22 is angry and surrealistic.
6.5 out of 10
