Highpoint (1982)
Country: CAN
Technical: col 88m
Director: Peter Carter
Cast: Richard Harris, Christopher Plummer, Beverly D'Angelo
Synopsis:
A rogue CIA operative and an accountant become embroiled in the theft of ten million dollars of stolen Mafia money.
Review:
Well-meaning but weak comedy thriller. The climax takes place atop the western hemisphere's tallest free-standing structure, the CN tower in Toronto, and the film had a troubled history, with poor previews and reshoots to remove the comedy that didn't work. Bottom line: the stars are too old, and the script underdeveloped.
