Authentic Turkish locations give it an epic look and feel...
Review date: 2007-03-24 Rating: 8 out of 10
Filmed in much an international style, some Americans won't get this this movie. Despite the poster, it is an action-comedy. Not a whole lot of action but more of a 'two scoundrels on the take' plot line set in 1922 Turkey.
Bronson delivers some great lines and Curtis falls a bit flat throughout. There seems to be no chemistry between the two leads. Had this been a Bronson and Coburn flick, it would have been a smash hit.
This movie rises above B-movie status mainly because of the rarely photographed Turkish citites, ruins and landscapes. Great cinematography gives it a big budget, epic feel. Too bad it is not available in it's original 2:35 widescreen - the VHS is in full frame.
Definately worthwhile for Bronson fans as he has many great lines. Also worth viewing for the fantastic Turkish landscapes. I don't recall ever seeing them photographed so nicely before...
