Review of Bullseye! (1990) by Marco F — 24 Apr 2009
"Stay out of the black and in the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed." Oh, wait! No, sorry. That's the wrong Bullseye. This one is directed by Michael Winner, (Alarm bells ringing), and is a contender for a film so hilariously bad, you can't believe it got made.
It's technical ineptitude is jaw-dropping, and it's hilarious for all the wrong reasons. :O :P This has two con-men, Sidney Lipton (Michael Caine) and Garald Bradley-Smith (Roger Moore), who happen to resemble two crooked scientists working on nuclear energy, Dr.
Eddie Hicklar (Caine again) and Sir John Bevistock (Moore again). So, they decide to pull off a con against these two, with the help of Willie (Sally Kirkland), however, the real scientists get wind of what the con men are up to.
With a script by the writers of The New Statesman and Birds of a Feather, there is comedy in this hopeless film, but not in the right places. Winner's direction fumbles from one hopeless scene to the next, which is a shame as Caine and Moore make two good double acts.
It's a case of "Lets have a look at what you could have won" with this film. Even the extras in the crowd scenes and the police are unconvincing!! :P.
