definitely not your typical polizia and redneck just never work for me . the movie tell the story of a jewel heist go wrong and a young boy who be inadvertently kidnap in the process . in their attempt to get away and the robber leave a bloody trail of death in their wake a they hatch a plan to ransom the boy . the plan be never carry off a the robber be more intent on get to france and the boy be intent on stay with them . while i could cite a number of problem i have with the movie and i will focus on the most obvious the character memphis play by telly savalas . from his work in the dirty dozen and kelley hero to other italian film like crime bos to his most remembered role a kojak and savalas be a winner . i have always think of him a one uber cool customer . unfortunately and savalas be almost unwatchable in redneck . do the director turn on the camera and instruct him to act as psychotic a possible . it might not have be too bad have his action be do within the context of a plot i care about and but here he seem to be act bizarre for sake of be bizarre . it appear to be random lunacy . and what with that accent . savalas might have be a lot of thing and but southern isn not one of them . he sound completely ridiculous even attempt the accent . beyond that and i find little of interest in the rest of the movie . a i indicate and the plot never draw me in . i just do not care about what be go on . and the notion that the boy be so quickly attract to the criminal lifestyle doesn not ring true . a for the other actor and mark lester be almost as bad a savalas and the usually reliable franco nero isn not a whole lot well . three name actor and not a good performance between them . to make matter bad and i believe the director film many of the night scene with nothing more than the glow from his watch to light the shot . i couldn not tell what be go on . character i hate and a plot i do not care about and and a production value that fail little wonder i have give redneck a negative .
