Cheap and plodding
14 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
TARGET EAGLE is a cheap Spanish thriller that seems to have spent all of its money on importing various Hollywood guest stars and in filming a series of spectacle action sequences (skiing, a car chase, etc.) that are notable for not featuring any of the principle cast members. As a result, this is a pretty dull kind of picture, and it doesn't help it that the pace is plodding and the phrasing quite awkward. One-time muscle man Jorge Rivero is the dunderhead lead, employed by Max Von Sydow to take down a gang of heroin smugglers. He hooks up with female agent Maud Adams, of Bond film fame, but she doesn't really have much to do other than stand around and smile. George Peppard and Chuck Connors both show up in smaller roles, but despite all the star power this one sinks rather than sparkles.
