charlie b is the man for me!, 19 September 1999
Author: grey-15 from the us of a

in this brillant piece of cinema, charles bronson plays a sniper who is double crossed by his girl while on vacation....they almost kill him but after a bloody shoot out and a fairly lame car chase, he gets away....only to be offered a job to kill someone....he turns it down and ends up killing the guy who tried to kill him instead...he then proceeds to be hunted by the guys who tried to hire him, this group of men happens to be lead by none other than telly savalis....!....plot twists and a surprise ending make this one of the more interesting bronson films....with the film not being made in the usa you get a different sense of charlie....check out the jail scene and see if you catch the fact that he has a lisp....that explains all the long shots....oh yeah, jill ireland plays his girl....big surprise. don't get me wrong i love charles bronosn....but her, not so much. the end.
