This was a GREAT movie!! It had humor, action, friendship. You really cared about the characters. I did have a little trouble understanding the heavy accent at times but all in all a very good ride!

Solid gold, "Gunga Din" style buddy film, with Connery and Caine at their best. Snappy dialogue, solid action, and an old fashioned sense of adventure. Good stuff, indeed.

The dialog in this movie is wonderful. The English language is skillfully played to bring out the charactor and spell out the plot. It is long but goes well if you stay with it.

This is a great movie which dipicts man's ability to go into the world and find his niche. This movie also illustrated how the Anglo/European has gone into the world and walked on other ethnic groups it came into contact with, viewing them as inferior to them.

I might have liked it had the DVD not been all scratched - movie would only play from the middle. It would also be nice if Blockbuster posted a complaint number in order to speak to an actual live person. I had the same problem with another DVD that was broken. I'm cancelling and using RedBox from now on.

The CD was a copy and had more than two movies on it. The subject movie occupied approximately one hour. Presentation then switched to a black and white production, followed by a third production.

This movie had some OK acting from Sean Connery and Michael Caine. I found it hard to follow the accents at times, even Michael Caine's. Overall the story was good but it was REALLY long. It seemed a lot longer than 129 minutes. Have lots of popcorn ready...
