Bullseye! (1990)

Load of rubbish!!

Boring

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Well, this is a Michael Caine and Roger Moore Comedy. Leonard Martin didn't like it but I did. I thought that it was quite witty, and though I probably wouldn't watch it again, I did quite enjoy it the first time round.Basically Caine and Moore both play two characters, a pair of crooks and a pair of crooked scientists. As Caine says at the beginning of the movie, everybody is said to have a double, and Caine's double just happens to be a nuclear scientist who is attempting to rip off the American and British governments by leaching research money off them and then selling their discovery to others. After a successful jewel heist, the CIA then approach Caine and Moore and blackmail them into posing as the scientists to get the plans.There is really little else to the movie other than the personality clashes and the comedy of errors. Caine's character seriously wants to get laid and finds out that the character that he is posing as is Jewish and shuns all of the luxuries that he desires, while Moore's character seems to get everything that he wants. Moore is far more charming than Caine, who in reality is a bad-luck magnet.The cameo by John Cleese at the end is also rather cool, and goes to show just how much bad luck these two criminals seem to attract to themselves.

This movie is supremely inventive in the humour stakes. Roger Moore and Michael Caine wearing kilts! Wearing kilts in the vicinity of log tossers. Naturally, they are going to receive a log up the kilt at some point.Sure enough, the moment arrives as someone lifts a log as they both straddle it. The log goes up the kilts. The audience roll about in floods of tears, each receiving their own personal log up the kilt agony.A few minutes pass and we are treated to another log up the kilt victim. The humour then progresses to another person receiving a log up the kilt.The final scene involves several people straddling a log only to have someone lift up the log, giving the victims a log up the kilt.

A lot of people who have seen this film will wonder why 10 out of 10.However, having watched this film almost 12 times I never tire of it. Ridiculous quotes and incredibly bad acting from all involved make it so much fun. And this is what movies are about right? Simple setup - Roger Moore and Michael Caine's ex-partner conman characters are almost identical to two partnered scientists - HOW CONVENIENT! And so they set up a plan to steal the scientists secret diamond stash all the time bumbling through some goofy moments in order to set up the crime.Written by the creative team behind the dire TV sitcom "Birds Of A Feather" I was surprised the film has some quick witty one-liners. It also has some cringe inducing scenes including what I believe is Roger Moore trying it on with his own daughter. Michael Caine is the first to point out some of the terrible films he's made so you can't really have a go but his accents are hideous.All in all I recommend this film to anyone who just wants a laugh even if it is at the expense of two fine actors."Has anyone ever said you look like Mel Gibson?" Baddie shakes head. "I'm not surprised."

Winner really has hit the jackpot with this Bullseye!The idea of pitting a good Moore & Caine against their evil counterparts can only be described as a stroke of genius. They act out both parts with the kind of style and charisma you would expect from these screen legends. They play off one another beautifully and you can't help being entertained.Surely this was the film that they were both destined to be in, for them this is what acting is all about.You have to credit Winner for the way in which he has drawn out such stirling performances from his two stars. They have not only cemented their megastar status here but have surely passed into the realm of screen legends. Class just oozes from their every pore.This must surely go down as Winners 'Piece De Resistance' this is top drawer directing and you know eeeeeeeet.If you haven't seen this film, make it top of your 'must see' list.Also why not get 'Parting Shots' starring Chris 'Monkey' Rea it's doomsick tribes.
