Member Rating:  
Ex-crime reporter turned novelist Raymond St. Ives (Charles Bronson) is drawn back into the world of his former profession by wealthy Abner Procane (John Houseman). St. Ives is hired to locate a stolen set of ledgers that, if made public, could trigger an all-out mob war. Amazingly, St. Ives fails to recognize who his real friends and enemies are in the course of his investigation, and it takes all his mental and physical resources to keep from being exterminated. One of the characters who isn't all that she seems is sexy Janet Whistler (Jacqueline Bisset). While the "main" cast is serviceable, the lineup of future stars in minor roles (Daniel J. Travanti, Jeff Goldblum, Robert Englund, Michael Lerner) is fascinating. Based on The Procane Chronicle, a novel by Oliver Bleeck. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I'd never even heard of this movie until I found it online. The thing that struck me is that Bronson's acting is so good here and he doesn't rely on alot of gunplay or fisticuffs for 90% of the movie. This movie has John Houseman ("We EARN it" guy), Jacqueline Bisset looking MAD hot, cameos by Robert Englung (Freddy Krueger) and Jeff Goldblum (The Fly) - in the same scene with each other no less, and a ton of 1970s character actors you'll recognize immedately. Throw in a badass soundtrack by Lalo Schifrin and you've got a winner!

    I am not able to write a review for the movie St. Ives starring Charles Bronson because after receiving the wrong DVD for the second time I gave up asking to have the correct movie sent. The St. Ives movie I did receive would get a ver low rating from me.

    I requested this film twice but instead received (twice) a film with the same title, but was a 1998 BBC production of Robert Lewis Stevenson's story of the same name - but with no Charles Bronson!
