VHS Movie Reviews of Telefon
Movie Review: Check caller ID
Summary: 3 Stars
The phone rings. A voice on the other end quotes Frost "The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep". This triggers Soviet Manchurian Canidate killers to carry out missions programmed long ago when the cold war was hot. Enter Charles Bronson, Soviet KGB agent to save the day and prevent WWIII with his double agent femme fatal Lee Remick in a race against time to find the evil Dr. Strangelove type villian.Movie Review: DVD PLEASE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Bronson's best flicks. It deserves to be released on DVD (Blu-ray preferably).Movie Review: RELEASE IT ON DVD !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you read the reviews on this movie you will see
that since 2000,people want this movie to come out
on dvd.They have put some of Bronson's worst pieces
of c**p out on dvd yet this excellent movie languishes
in vhs hell.I don't like Bronson generally speaking,
however he did make a few good films and this one tops
my list.Read the other reviews for info.on the story line.
I got tired of waiting for this to come out on dvd so I
transferred my vhs copy onto a blank dvd disc so that at
least it wouldn't deteriorate any further,but I want the
real thing.This movie really is a gem.
Movie Review: Best of Bronson
Summary: 5 Stars
WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE ON DVD? They're putting absolute JUNK out all the time, but they don't put really excellent movies like this one out? Who's running the show? Come on, guys, this is absolutely top of the line Bronson! Movie Review: Ah, the good ol' days of the Cold War!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a flick I saw as a teenager, loved and forgot about. I only came to watch it again recently and had forgotten what an effective, well acted and original cold war thriller it was.
Bronson gives one of his best performances and Lee Remick's cool, blonde beauty combined with her sensational acting instincts (did she ever give one bad performance? I don't think so) make this a good, gripping drama.
Nutshell synopsis: The Soviets had set up a network/cell of some 52 agents brainwashed to believe themselves U.S. citizens, using the identities of deceased Americans. At any time they could receive the "code" from Mother Russia - in the form of the final verse of Robert Frost's classic poem "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" at which point they would go into automaton mode, each agent specifically programmed to destroy a strategic U.S. military installation.
The Soviets realize the top secret list of agents has fallen into the hands of one Nicolai Dalchimsky - the wonderfully creepy Donald Pleasance - who from payphones across the U.S. is systematically calling the sleeper cell agents (in a particularly methodical fashion) and blowing up their U.S. targets. The Soviets send their top agent, Charles Bronson to rendevous with an agent in America and find and stop Dalchimsky. The chemistry between Bronson and Remick is wonderful, with Remick also adding a healthy dose of old movie tough gal humor to Bronson's no-nonsense performance. (In his first scene, we're given a device to endear Bronson to us as he coaches an adorable group of Russian kids playing hockey).
Look for Tyne Daly in a very early appearance as a brilliant computer nerd trying to crack the same case for the American team.
