Customer Reviews of Cold Eyes of Fear (Dub)
How justice is served sometimes,and how not everyone is happy about bribed officials "Occhi freddi della paura" ( Cold Eyes of Fear ), by Enzo G. <
>Castellari, released 1971 is a major achievement for a <
>cinematographer, considering the extremely well filmed work, the <
>suspense that lasts reasonably long, with the caveat of not <
>falling into a bloodfest like too often happens with American <
>movies these days, that suggest that people are either totally <
>peaceful, or totally insane, with no shade in between, unlike <
>this picture. <
> <
>The downside of the release, is the lack of wide-screen release, <
>as it pan and scans for the TV format. Another downside is the <
>graphics of the DVD jewel case itself, that is completely poor, <
>misleading the audience in terms of what lies in store for them, <
>should this rent this talented movie. <
> <
>There are several positive aspects, the first, as said is the <
>story, the suspense, the effort put forth by the British actors <
>(and Italian ones, such as the lovely Giovanna Ralli), the <
>soundtrack, (reminiscent of Miles Davis' fusion period, not <
>unlike B*tches Brew, or Live at the Filmore West/ East, for <
>example, using a muted trumpet.) <
> <
>The story revolves around a convict who does time in the pen for <
>15 years, for his participation in a gang that had committed <
>crimes and been organized, controlled, and planned out by a <
>series of individuals who were of Blue Blood and part of the <
>Establishment, later going on to important titles and positions <
>in society. <
> <
>The "system" had decided to place the blame, all of it, on that <
>single felon, whitewashing all the others. As soon as the <
>individual is released, he goes about searching for details on <
>his case, having been decided back 15 years earlier, to recover <
>the proofs that he had submitted to the judge at the time, <
>implicating a series of high level people in society. He also <
>attempts to get revenge on the magistrate of the time and the <
>nephew, the first who had turned the other way, ignoring all the <
>evidence that didn't suit his one-sided approach of justice <
>obtained in exchange for a large bribe by those involved. <
> <
>The result is a series of tense exchanges and a struggle that <
>ensues over 90 mins.
Tedious psychological thriller
A young man picks up a girl at a disco (this is supposed to be set in London although the film is Italian) and takes her back to his uncle's country farmhouse for some nookie. There, they are interuppted by a man who murders the servant and keeps them hostage. The hero's uncle is a judge (Fernando Rey)and he sends a cop to investigate but the cop (played by Frank Wolff) turns out to be in league with the hostage taker and is in fact a man that the uncle sent to prison and is after revenge. He's also after something hidden in the house but we're never quite sure what.
Tedious and boring, poorly dubbed and ridiculously scripted - this is not a horror film and certainly not a giallo either. There's also practically no sex and violence despite the Redemption promises. The main problem is that there seems to be no point in the whole hostage saga at all since Wolffe has already planted a bomb in Rey's office. A number of convoluted plot twists are gradually revealed but the fact is nobody really knows what's going on here and the thing is padded out about twice as long as it should have been.
Not worth buying at all, even for five bucks.
The only exciting moment occurs during the first ten minutes of the film. it then slowly drops into a confusing web of slow-paced melodrama and extremely boring dialogue scenes, unaided by poor acting from all parts. i give this a full, anti-recomendation, also known as a raspberry. if you have the patience to sit through a film this tastefully insulting, then buy something that is a. cheaper or b. contains more graphic violence to keep you awake.
