Customer Reviews of Bullet to Beijing
George Mihalka should have got... ...the bullet before compromising Michael Caine into this. But, what else could you expect from trash made for TV (sorry for the redundancy).
The movie is ok, but the non-stop background music
My God, what a stupid background music non-stop and so loud to almost cover all the dialogues in this movie. I mean, NON-STOP background music and very unsuitable interpretation of the plot, the scenario, no matter what, when, how, why, that disturbing horrible, got-nothing-to-do-with the movie itself background music just kept going and playing not matter what. Drive me nuts just like the other movie, "the perfect storm", the non-stop, totally unrelated background music just play on, so loudly, so unstopable, drive you nuts! Please, this is not a Cartoon, you don't have to emphasize any movement or whatever with a music to get the dramatic effect. This is movie, folks, the music is supposed to enhance the moment that is needed by employ some sound effect. But how could this old concept of 60' Hollywood musical techs would still so stupidly and so dominantly and, so blindly used to wreck so many supposed to be good movies? Well, Suh, that is beyond my pea brain.
GOOD POST-COLD WAR THRILLER
The BULLET TO BEIJING is an intelligent Ian Flemming-type of spy thriller, except post Cold War.
Filmed around the world by a Canadian-Russian production company, Michael Caine leads a terrific cast of actors who put on a top rate, understated performance. Basically, Caine plays a just forcibly retired British M-1 spook who has been put into a midlife crisis by his scaling down intelligence agency. Looking for work, he winds up in Russia working for former KGB people purporting to save the world from a deadly new bio-toxin which is on its way to North Korea through China. Caine's mission is to stop the toxin from getting there.
There is plenty of intrigue and just about the right amount of sex-by-implication, off camera. Also starring in the movie is Jason Connery (Sean's son) who does a decent job of acting as a young British-Russian agent trying to find his place in the new world order.
While not great, this movie tells its story better than the high priced DIE ANOTHER DAY.
For those wishing to see a good old fashioned spy thriller freshened up for the post-Cold war era, see BULLET TO BEIJING.
