"99 And 44/100% Dead" (1974) (John Frankenheimer)
Offbeat gangster melodrama with pop art and new wave sensibilities; about a hitman (Richard Harris) hired by one mobster to knock off a rival gang, who has subsequently hired arch enemy hitman (Chuck Connors with an interchangeable appendage apparatus) to do the opposite. Kookiness abounds as characters and scenes seem out of moving comic books. Strange little absurdities pop up all over the place when least expected and actors play out bizarre sequences straight faced, all of which boldly feeds your curiosity. Stylish and peculiar. It is a lost mini-revolution of studio avant-garde deviation. Frankenheimer later regretted it but you might not.
1974 / 98mins. / English Language / Color / USA
