"Scorpio" is too talky and over-plotted. It becomes difficult after the opening scene to figure out what's going on and it stays that way. The action scenes are far and few between and the tedium is rampant throughout. Michael Winner's direction is almost non-existent. The running time doesn't help matters, at 15 minutes should have been edited from the final version. Burt Lancaster and Paul Schofield act well and their scenes are good. For a man of 59, Lancaster is remarkably fit and he can still perform the athletics. This film could have been better but it's a long haul.......
