A secret agent discovers a secret plot in the most boring way possible.
ZZZZZ huh! Huh! What? Oh! This 1976 film embarrasses Robert Vaughn, Merrie Lynn Ros, and Keenan Wynn, though only a little bit for Wynn. David L. Hewitt and Kenneth Hartford wrote it, and David L. Hewitt and Dale Skillicorn directed.
Let’s look at those actors again. Robert Vaughn. Keenan Wynn. Talented men. I know. I’ve seen them in other films.
You couldn’t tell watching this flick.
In this flick, they’re as dull as dirt.
EVERYTHING is as dull as dirt.
This film is full of action that has no meaning. It’s full of talking that vanishes from memory.
It starts with fifteen minutes of a character narrating to no one who has NO CONNECTION TO THE REST OF THE FILM.
He’s in…the FUTURE and everyone else is dead. He pontificates ON AND ON on subjects that don’t really touch with the rest of the film. It is so. DULL.
The rest of the film is mildly interesting. Maybe. It involves Nazis (a common subject in the Seventies) and cloning (a common subject in the Seventies) and really doesn’t start hopping until the last thirty or so minutes.
Even when it does start hopping, you don’t care. All the characters have the personality of wood. It makes me long for Octaman.
Nothing should make me long for Octaman.
