Quotes:

[Lipton knocks his door and the entire front of the house collapses around him; the hole where the door was saves him from certain death. He wanders away dazed. Willie pulls up in her car]
Willie: What's wrong?
Lipton: I come from a broken home.

An absolute humdinger of a movie!

Winner really has hit the jackpot with this Bullseye!

The idea of pitting a good Moore & Caine against their evil counterparts can only be described as a stroke of genius. They act out both parts with the kind of style and charisma you would expect from these screen legends. They play off one another beautifully and you can't help being entertained.

Surely this was the film that they were both destined to be in, for them this is what acting is all about.

You have to credit Winner for the way in which he has drawn out such stirling performances from his two stars. They have not only cemented their megastar status here but have surely passed into the realm of screen legends. Class just oozes from their every pore.

This must surely go down as Winners 'Piece De Resistance' this is top drawer directing and you know eeeeeeeet.

If you haven't seen this film, make it top of your 'must see' list.

Also why not get 'Parting Shots' starring Chris 'Monkey' Rea it's doomsick tribes.
