This movie is not for everyone, but I think it is a 70's classic. Directed by Romain Gary, and starring his wife Jean Seberg (just after her nervous breakdown), this is a strange, dreamlike, bizarre film. There are some great moments in this film- sort of a cross between a spaghetti western, ClockWork Orange and Performance. Jean Seberg herself is perfectly cast in this as the bored housewife Emily looking for a thrill--and off to Pakistan (well, OK it was filmed in Spain) she goes! The renegade she meets, Brad Killian (name obviously in reference to his dedicated profession of killing every drug runner he can find), is played by the wonderful Stephen Boyd. In his leather-clad outfit and wild hair, he makes for a great anti-hero as he seduces Emily, and turns the cards on her husband, played by the excellent James Mason. The music is amazing, and there are a host of classic Italian character actors in this flick as the bad guys. Oh, and Curd Jergens shows up too! It's a great 70's trip - I highly recommend this if you can track it down on IOFFER.

"Kill!" (or "Kill!" Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"....well, you get the idea) is ostensibly an anti-drug cinematic manifesto, yet it contains some sequences so ludicrous that you have to wonder if the filmmakers themselves were under the influence of drugs when they were filming them (especially the has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed ending). Badly scripted (apparently getting interrogated, intimidated and tied up by a man makes him irresistible to a woman, according to Romain Gary) and occasionally poorly dubbed in English for the supporting characters, this film is far below the talents of its leading quartet of actors, and as anti-drug propaganda pieces go, much worse than the infamous "The Poppy Is Also A Flower". Jean Seberg followers might be interested to know that she has a couple of topless scenes - but I'm fairly certain the body in those scenes belongs to a double. *1/2 out of 4.

I stumbled across this film while browsing Netflix. Worth the rent! Anyone who loved Jean Seberg will love this film. She's terrific. This role shows her at her tragic best. Those of you who are used to the American style of crime movie might not get this film. Romain Gary's approach is one of minimalist absurdity. This is much more French ala Goddard than French Connection. But give it a chance. View with no expectations and perhaps you'll see the film for what it is. Stephen Boyd is no slouch either. His scenes with Seberg are very disturbing.

An absolutely dire thriller about an ex-Interpol agent turned assassin who tries to wipe out porn merchants and drug dealers in Pakistan. This is confusing, nasty and atrociously directed, with an extremely high death rate but little else. Stephen Boyd must have wondered what he had done wrong to go from the giddy heights of Ben Hur to this shambolic mess. As for James Mason, it's almost enough to make a grown man cry to see such a fine actor in such garbage.
