Review of Callan (1974) by Carl H — 22 Jan 2012
One of the most inspired thrillers ever made, staring the charismatic Edward Woodward, probably the greatest British anti-hero ever. Callan was always called the anti James Bond, you can see why; his life is the complete opposite of glamorous casinos and gorgeous woman, he lives in a flat and his best friend is a thief called Lonely, who always fears getting nicked by the coppers.
In this Callan, is an assassin working for secret organisation The Section and suddenly called out of retirement for a job. The job is to kill a man, but he does not know why or what the man has done.
The London setting looks stunning, the set up is incredible and the acting is great. One of the best British films ever, highly recommended.
