It all begins showing the vestiges of a crazy party of carefree young people on a Miami island, the police arrive and everything turns into chaos, four boys and a girl escape aboard a stolen speedboat. Seeing that they entertain their time they end up in the house of a former mob boss. The man is convinced that it is a kidnapping and he offers to be taken alone to protect his family. The group of crazy young people find it fun to humor him and take him captive to an abandoned house. The man is convinced that his loved ones will raise the ransom money but to his great surprise he discovers that no one cares about his life and no one is willing to pay a penny for the ransom, not even his mother. Dislocated and checking the farce that surrounded him, he hatches an ingenious plan to take revenge on everyone. The rhythm of this movie does not drop for a single moment, it is a mixture of comedy, drama and police. The cast is top notch, Anthony Quinn, Faye Dunaway, Michael Parks, Robert Walker jr., George Maharis and Milton Berle among others. The highlight of the film is the change between the first part and the second, where you never know where all this madness will end. A brilliant movie that has been unfairly forgotten and that is highly recommended.
