Un Uomo da Rispettare

Rating:
Summary: Pretty Cool!
Review: This is a fun if dated Italian jewel heist movie. This is a real obscure Kirk Douglas flick. But it is worth your time if you give it a chance to get rolling.

Suprisingly fun stuff!

Summary: Good Euro-Crime Thriller
Review: This is a Good example of the Euro-Crime Thriller.
Kirk Douglas plays Steve Wallace, a middle-aged ex-con trying for
One last big score befores he retires.
Florinda Bolkan plays his beautiful trusting wife who has waited for his return for years, but her patience is wearing thin even though her love and loyalty to her husband is unbreakable.
Italian Star, Giuliano Gemma plays the young protege who helps Wallace out.
This well paced and well told story does have the usuall downbeat offerings of many Euro-Crime thrillers along with the exciting action sequences.Indeed at times the film reminds me of Michael Mann's, "HEAT" , especially the character played by Robert DeNiro(Neal McCauley) who is reminiscent of the Steve Wallace character in Michele Lupo's, "The Master Touch" -
aka: A Man To Respect
Cinematography is by Tonino Delli Colli who worked with many of the great Italian Directors including Sergio Leone.
All in all this was a worthwhile purchase and St.Clair-Vision
has done a nice job on this DVD transfer.The picture is a little grainy at times but didn't put off the overall enjoyment.
If you like a good crime yarn,then this is the film for you.
