Oh, to be a film critic.
To be able to make pompous, uninformed statements about anything created by Michael Winner.
Critic I am not, neither am I a blinkered devotee of Mr. Winner, but I loved this movie.
Lots of fun from beginning to end, with Chris Rea as an understatedly bewildered and reluctant serial killer and with Felicity Kendal as his less than innocent accomplice.
Unfavourable comparisons have been made with 'Kind Hearts & Coronets' but those of us who love the Ealing comedies are by no means uncomfortable with 'Parting Shots'; it maintains a ruthless tradition.
Mr. Winner also borrows freely from his own greatest movie, 'The Jokers' (1967) in certain scenes, and the presence of Oliver Reed reinforces that sense of history.
'Parting Shots' is a very funny movie with a great cast, all of whom do their stuff excellently.
