Possibly the worst Caine film of all time


The only thing that was somewhat authentic was the plug for Sky Sports. That certainly aint a compliment.

The plot had so many layers there was no actual storyline.

An American superstar fighting in a *beep* for a world title ELIMINATOR wouldn't happen in any world.

Nobody had anything to gain from Golden Boy taking a dive.

The pigs had no circumstancial evidence to the underground fighter's death thus they had no reason to approach the prom.

A waste of 2 hours of my life and I WANT THEM BACK DAMNIT!!!

You probably wasted 2 more minutes of your life writing that.

If you think this was the worst Caine film ever, you obviously haven't seen The Magus

God will forgive them, He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven. I can't live with that.

As Sir Michael allegedly replied when asked if he'd seen how awful Jaws IV was, 'I haven't seen that film but I have seen the veranda on my house that the fee for it paid for and by all accounts that is very nice.'

Shiner is way better than some of the rubbish Sir Michael's graced

reply

There's no way that this is Caine's worst film.

This is easily Caine's best crime drama since Get Carter.

Since no one agrees and has his own worst Michael Caine movie I suppose he has a lot of villas with a lot of verandas.

I loved this movie! I’ve enjoyed almost all of his movies to some degree. The worst ones imo were On Deadly Ground, and Quicksand.

reply

This is one of his best films imo.

Big "My Cocaine" fan, huh?

reply

Oh yeah! He’s one of the best!
