"For Eastwood fans, the essential elements are there. Lots of people get beat up, Eastwood walks tall and looks nasty, cars are crashed. James Fargo directs limply." | ||||
"Clint doing roughneck humour with an orang-utan, what's not to like? (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"The slackest and most harebrained of Mr. Eastwood's recent movies. It is overlong and virtually uneventful" | ||||
"A huge disappointment after The Outlaw Josey Wales and The Gauntlet, this rambling comedy forsakes the subtle, self-deprecating humour of those films and opts for a far rowdier" | ||||
"There's no accounting for the success of this over the failure of Eastwood's infinitely superior Bronco Billy." | ||||
"One can forgive the orangutan's participation - he couldn't read the script - but what is Eastwood's excuse? James Fargo directed, every which way but well" |
