Where to watch Messenger of Death
2 1/2 Stars
Low on action, save for a adequate but unspectacular car chase that instantly reveals the low-budget. This Cannon films project was the penultimate film that Bronson would make under the banner and it’s easy to see why. The cinematography has a cheap, flat look and the direction is amateurish. However the screenplay credited to Paul Jericho packs in a fair amount of suspense and some clever plot twists.Worthwhile viewing to see Bronson at sixty-six years of age still mumbling dialogue and staring down villains with the best of them.
Director: J. Lee Thompson
Stars: Charles Bronson, John Ireland, Jeff Corey
