Review of The Master Touch (1972) by Darrin C — 26 Feb 2012

Another example of late-60s/early-70s cinema that takes an idea for a perfectly good movie and waters it down in half-baked "character development" and boring side-plots. The car chase is pretty good, but does nothing to advance the plot.

Considering that it is Kirk Douglas's job to crack a "fool-proof safe" in a dangerous heist, a little more attention to the details of the actual crime would have been a welcome substitute to, for example, a scene where all the lead characters go bowling (yes, this actually happens).

It almost seemed as though the heist itself was an afterthought.
