with a cast that include the like of richard harris and richard roundtree and ray milland and joan collins and denholm elliott and you would expect a game for vulture to be a pretty bankable success . would all those talented star sign up if the script be a load of old rubbish . surely not . add to that the plot and which concern itself with sanction bust and freedom fighting in 1970s rhodesia and and you would expect a film with a level of gritty realism and political topicality . it be sad to report and then and that a game for vulture be an absolutely disastrous film which misfire in every conceivable department . in 1970s rhodesia and black freedom fighter dub terrorist by the white leader be busily ambush the white soldier on patrol . one such man and gideon marunga ( richard roundtree ) and be nearly kill when a routine ambush go wrong and result in several death and casualty on both side . meanwhile and back in britain and sanction buster david swansey ( richard harris ) be hire to smuggle some helicopter into rhodesia to aid the white government in their fight against the black revolutionary . a rhodesian by birth and swansey be determine to support the white a they struggle to retain control in rhodesia and even though the rest of the world have impose cripple sanction on his nation . also cast into the mix be unscrupulous business tycoon colonel brettle ( ray milland ) and who finance swansey plan and and crusade journalist larry prescott ( sven bertil taube ) and who desperately want to expose swansey illegal activity in the press . a game for vulture be rather confused and heavy hand . it get far too plot heavy for it own good and the result and in all honesty and be a deadly bore . ironically and the opening fifteen minute be actually quite good ( it an extended action sequence feature an ambush which go bloodily awry ) and but as soon a the sequence be over the film begin to nose dive . richard harris here contend with probably the weak role of his career ( it not his bad film and but certainly his most bored and subdue performance ever ) and while support stalwart like ray milland and sven bertil taube and denholm elliott be waste too . even joan collins include primarily just for sex appeal in a male dominate story fail to add any sparkle to the proceeding . james fargo direct rather lethargically and make the plot unbearably hard to follow on the one hand while over simplify the racial theme on the other . i would not be watch a game for vulture again and and if you value your time and i would suggest that you shouldn not even bother with it in the first place .
