Not just for girls.

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2010)

I had heard (and I also admit that I assumed it to be true myself) that this movie was a typical guy movie with explosions, shooting, death etc that girls just didn't like. But I was wrong. This was a great movie that actually had something to say. First off the cast is top notch, when you have actors like Donald Sutherland (one of my all time faves) and Charles Bronson in pretty relatively small parts in the movie you can see how top notch this film is. Possible spoiler here - but I was happy to see that in this old movie for once the black man (Jim Brown) was not killed off even though it looked for sure like he would be in the end. I thought it was terrific with lots of action, not too much gore, and great acting and drama. Telly Savalas I never really liked but he was great as the psycho and Lee Marvin was so tough as nails it was cool.
