Targets (1968)
9/10
Excellent
26 January 2011
My three favourite Peter Bogdanovich movies are The Last Picture Show, What's Up Doc and Paper Moon. But Targets is my fourth favourite film of his. While a tad too short, it is an excellent film, genuinely disturbing and immaculately crafted. It especially is graced by superb cinematography, great direction from Bogdanovich and a truly marvellous performance from Boris Karloff. The script is very good and the story has many admirable themes that to me are still relevant today. The ending is also very memorable, very involving emotionally and structurally. All in all, this is an excellent crime drama that clearly shows Bogdanovich's talents and for fans of Karloff they will like him very much here. 9/10 Bethany Cox
