- Patrick Wai1天前Only Bronson’s presence keeps this thing from flatlining completely. He is doing his usual everyday-man-thrown-into-hell routine, and that still works, but everyone around him feels either badly dubbed, badly directed, or just plain asleep. The plot is a mess, the movie looks cheaper than it should, and for something sold as a thriller, it barely has a pulse. A lot of outside reviews land in roughly the same place: overcomplicated story, weak tension, and one major saving grace. That saving grace is the car chase near the end, which is genuinely fantastic and the one single reason to watch the movie. Even people who were kinder to the film still tend to single out the chase as the highlight and admit the rest drags. What also stood out to me was Jean Topart as Katanga. He plays the creepy, sexually predatory menace very well, slimy in exactly the right way. But I still had to laugh at the name “Katanga,” which sounds oddly quasi-Japanese in a movie otherwise packed with French and American noir energy. That choice felt random enough to become its own distraction. The cast listings do confirm Topart is playing Katanga, and at least one review also singled him out as the “odious and sexually-predatory” one in the bunch. What makes it even more frustrating is that the movie has the ingredients to be better. It is a French-Italian co-production directed by Terence Young and based on a Richard Matheson novel, which sounds like the kind of setup that should produce something tighter and meaner than this. Instead, it mostly feels like Bronson sleepwalking through a dull kidnapping plot while James Mason and Liv Ullmann wonder how they got stuck in the same traffic jam. Then the movie suddenly wakes up and throws in a jaw-droppingly fun chase sequence that feels like it wandered in from a much better film. So yes, that chase is absolutely worth seeing. The rest of the movie mostly is not. If you watch Cold Sweat, you are basically sitting through 80 minutes of drowsiness to get to 10 minutes of “now that is more like it.”

隐姓埋名的退役军官被昔日入狱的战友寻仇、被迫保护家人的故事。前三分之二木屋戏之前的剧情还是可以的，但前后矛盾交代不足，我们看到反派手下突然开枪破坏计划导致上级身亡的举动也略感一头雾水，也许是反派念在旧情对主角太过宽容的原因吧。而结尾手下被撂倒的方式也太简单粗暴了些，如果 能在山中放火戏后结束电影则是最完美的。动作戏很有限，盘山公路飙车戏可圈可点，导演过三集007的特伦斯杨调度技术毋庸置疑。
