Watched Don Siegel ruin the end of his career with a Michael Caine movie in 1974 - The Black Windmill. So fucking inept. Editing and script were so bad.
Michael Caine made some pretty shit movies in the '70's. Jaws:The Revenge is staggeringly bad.
Great actor though.

Very diverse back catalogue: I give you "The Swarm" 1978 and counter that with "Harry Brown" in 2009. The latter is not an easy watch but a good film nonetheless.

He was brilliant in Harry Brown - an outstanding film up there with Get Carter
I'll raise your Swarm with Ashanti, one god-awful film

Really ?
Clint raved about Siegel and said he was a massive influence. Even the greats have shit moments.

Paydirt
I don't know how or why I downloaded this. But a pox on whatever was the catalyst.
Just shitty. Characters are introduced with cheesy on-screen comic-style graphics, proudly proclaiming "The Brit", "The Babe", "The BadAss", "The Brawn", "The Brains", and probably some other shit I forgot.
It seems to be building up for some sort of heist, but with nothing really happening.And then "Pow" - the protagonists are flying away... and suddenly we've got the classic "this is how the heist was pulled off" exposition flash-back scenes.
Except... there was no fucking heist. And I think that's supposed to be the clever twist? Maybe?
That there never needed to be a heist, cause it was already done? Except... nah, just shit.
The genius move the main guy did, was going to prison for 6 years. Somehow, that's the clever bit.
Just... pretty shit.- Titwatch: zero
- Heists: zero
- Action scenes: zero
- Clever twists: zero
- Val Kilmers: 1. Well, maybe 0.5 - he looked half-dead - and I think that was only partially intentional

Least he was always honest about why he took on shit movies, for the money.
Think he even said the only reason he starred in Jaws 4 was he wanted to buy a new house or something.Thought he was great in the Dark Knight trilogy, that kinda balances the shit ones out.

Well - he's added another string to his bow of shitty things he's provided to the world.He owes you nothing.
