The Evil that Men Do (1984)
Country: US
Technical: CFI 90m
Director: J. Lee Thompson
Cast: Charles Bronson, Theresa Saldana, Joseph Maher, José Ferrer
Synopsis:
A hit man is persuaded out of retirement to eliminate an expert in torture who has trained several South American regimes in his methods and is responsible for the death of an old friend.
Review:
Pedestrian Bronson vehicle, one of his last, in which the credibility gap between his obvious age and the negligible threat posed by every evil heavy who comes his way yawns wider than ever. The setting of the thriller is distasteful enough, as any perfunctory treatment of this subject matter is bound to be, but this film is not the wallow in sadism that many reviewers have held it to be.
