10 to Midnight

A slimy deviant who wears nothing but rubber gloves and, despite his talk, only stabs with a knife vs. Bronson with gray bangs, who, as a cop, doesn’t hesitate to plant evidence so he can take action. Renowned critic Roger Ebert called it "garbage disposal," but let's take that as a recommendation. Nudity, lewdness, violence, a cinematographer’s effort to find “fig leaves,” and a somewhat awkward finale where the aroused killer completely abandons any rationality in his behavior. And what about Charlie? After two Death Wishes, he already knows how to please the taxpayers. (30/08/2022)
