Synopsis:Sean Connery stars in a police training vid as a grizzled 20-year force vet who comes across a dude that in all likelihood just raped a young girl. He drags him into custody and shit gets real. Review: Directed by Syndey Lumet, Sean actually handpicked this movie as his vehicle. Be forewarned, the accents are very, very British. It's not technically a one-man show, but the Scotsman dominates the film's action including a highlight where he beats the shit out of three characters at once. But Sean Connery < kicking someone's ass on a set > ain't nothin' new. QUOTE Then one day, Stompanato, consumed with jealousy and anger, burst into the studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, where Turner and Connery were filming, and waved a gun at Connery, warning him to stay away from the actress. Connery wrestled the gun off him and laid him out cold with a right hook. Turner later had her American boyfriend quietly kicked out of the country by Scotland Yard. Verdict: Heady, psychological, and reflective. Decent overall but holy fuck it drags in a few places. |
