Some sick stuff, 8 September 2003
Author: ctomvelu from usa

The original theatrical release of this movie is pretty sick and sadistic, being about a Mengele-type on the loose, and the stoic Bronson in pursuit. It's no MARATHON MAN, but EVIL is likely to remind you of that classic movie -- and the far inferior BOYS FROM BRAZIl, for that matter. If anything, the ultra-low-budget EVIL is even sleazier than Bronson's 10 TO MIDNIGHT from the year before. Tough to watch in parts, and the actor playing the villain, Joseph Maher, stuck with me for years in that role, even when I saw him playing kindly old man parts, including his turn in IQ as one of Walter Matthau's fuddy-duddy sidekicks.
