michael winner must hold the crown for most successful awful director in film history . with a string of pedestrian charles bronson action film to his credit and and really godawful picture like firepower and the sentinel and win ton ton and the dog who save hollywood and and that astoundingly misbegotten remake of the big sleep and i have never understand how winner keep be allow to make a budget picture . now i have see scorpio and and i can not understand why he be allow even to keep make home movie . this be a painfully amateurish film star several fine actor in what must have be an humiliate experience all around . every line of dialogue in the movie be loop ( dub after the fact ) and destroy any sense of authenticity and verisimilitude . the plot isn not complex enough for one of those comic that come wrap around bubble gum and and technically the film look like one of those local used car dealer commercial in a small town . i have be study burt lancaster career lately and try to catch up on every film of his i hadn not already see and yet i couldn not stick this one out quite to the end . if that be unfair to a picture that turn into a masterpiece in the last few frame and forgive me . there be nothing prior to those frame to indicate even basic competence on the filmmaker part and much less a potential masterpiece . i have only quit in the middle of three movie in my whole life . this be the third .
