#KillerElite

Tra i film di #SamPeckinpah che ho visto è sicuramente il meno riuscito, a tratti confuso e al limite della caricatura.
Nonostante questo rimane un film da guardare.

"Killer elite" di Sam Peckinpah, 122minuti, 1975.

- Mike Locken e George Hansen lavorano per un'organizzazione segreta, specializzata in assassinii politici e sono considerati i migliori. Un giorno, dopo aver risolto una missione…" da themoviedb.org

The Killer Elite (1975), directed by Sam Peckinpah, pairs Robert Duvall with James Caan as mercenaries whose friendship turns sour - with lethal consequences. There’s a lot of violence - and quite a few ninjas.

Ride the High Country (1962) was the second movie by director Sam Peckinpah, and its embittered characters and realistic gunplay began to establish the formula for which he became famous.

Sam Peckinpah's Major Dundee (1965), an interesting and strangely impressive failure which had the potential for greatness. A visually brilliant grungy western. Peckinpah's ambitions ran away with him. Superb performance by Charlton Heston.

Happy Anniversary to “Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid” which was released in cinemas 50 years ago on this day.

Timeless Sam Peckinpah Western with music by Bob Dylan about Pat Garrett being hired as a lawman to bring down his old friend Billy the Kid.

The Wild Bunch (1969)
D: Sie kannten kein Gesetz
Sam Peckinpah

Tagline:
Unchanged men in a changing land. Out of step, out of place and desperately out of time.

The Wild Bunch (1969) is a tour de force by Sam Peckinpah with some incredible set pieces. My favourite scenes included the bridge destruction, the out-of-control machine-gun, and the bloody climax. The influence on Tarantino is clear to see.

Cross of Iron directed by Sam Peckinpah - in the midst of a cocaine and booze binge - holds up as a remarkable anti-war movie, with fantastic performances by James Coburn and James Mason #sampeckinpah #movies #films #filmreview #jamesmason #war #WW2 #sampeckinpah www.speckled.band
