Andrew N @Bottom65 Feb 14 Many today criticise this film as being dated. But it's only dated if you embrace modern woke culture. Films like this have been with me all my life. I can date my life them. This is a wonderful adventure story, is hugely entertaining and features good Cinematography. You can loose yourself in the adventure and experience a world free from today's restrictive culture and censorship. 1976 was a good year for films.The two stars may have sadly left us, but they too represent a world that was far less restrictive and willing to entertain rather than preach.

Maybe that's how things were done in 1913, and maybe that's how they liked to depict them in 1975, but for viewers in the 21st Century, it's all a bit too much, especially where the rest of the 'action' so to speak -- at least in the first half or so -- is quite underwhelming. We didn't watch the entire film, but gave up before halfway or thereabouts. It doesn't really matter which. See more 06/19/2019 It’s a long and wearing movie that switches far too frequently between comic (Lee Marvin is a drunk), tragic (there’s an exploitative baby murder), and epic (the ultimate goal is to blow up a German cruiser). The racial politics are beyond horrifying. All blacks are ignorant and incompetent, and often savage and uncontrollable (except the trusty sidekick, naturally played by a white guy, in this case a young Bilbo, in blackface). Speaking of blackface, Roger Moore goes around in that for a bit. Yeah. The ultimate goal of destroying a German warship by tracing the supplies they’re getting shipped overland and sneaking on board with dynamite is a good one with plenty of potential. It just takes us too long to get there and we’re given too much of Lee Marvin being an utterly unlikeable bastard. This is one of those movies that thinks so long as you give them a moment of redemption towards the end you can have your heroes do anything. See more 09/16/2013 Passable, though uneven and overlong great-white-hunter/"African Queen" style war film set in Africa. The cast (Lee Marvin, Roger Moore, Ian Holm) make the film watchable and director Peter Hunt can direct a decent action sequence. Maurice Jarre also did the music. Nothing brilliant, but I'll watch anything with Lee Marvin in it. See more Read all reviews
