CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
shakercoola Caine and Moore's job was to convince us that their characters had con-artist identical doubles. They failed but both seemed to have had a hoot. It's like an overlong one-night-only stage farce: plentiful costume changes, loads of props, bad jokes, and a cut-price musical score. Having three old pals working together on a film it's easily imagined they would have fun and this comes across in the exchanges. One can imagine there's probably a stagehand at the ready to pop the cork and pour the champagne when Michael Winner shouted "cut". Directed to his everlasting shame, Bullseye begs a viewing occasionally, even if just to see how a film budget of £15,000,000 can be so easily burned.
mattjames1978 Yes, this film has been put together really badly It also has some terrible editing (1967...(moore mouths eight! Look closely, you will see!) Make-up is bad Directing is amateurish However, the film did entertain me. Caine and Moore must cringe when they ever stumble on this! But the tackiness was what made it great. The film tries so hard to be American in parts and it does fall flat on its face, but if someone like Quentin Tarantino had done it, it would have tied your brain in knots...In summary, this is a film for simpletons everywhere. Give it a try, yes It will probably make you cringe, but in one way or another, it will make you smile...Rather like Portugal getting knocked out of world cup. This film is Marmite...You either love it or hate it
hugh1971 Oh dear. I'm a big fan of Mr Caine and Mr Moore, and to be honest those two in the lead roles are the only reason to watch the film. Anyone lesser would have made it an utter waste of time. The film is hackneyed with an incomprehensible plot. Films based on 'doubles' are always dodgy, so much so that even in the 30s it was considered bad plotting to use them in detective stories. At some points in the film I just didn't know who was meant to be whom, and by the time of the second 'double cross' I just lost interest. While Caine and Moore were at times hilarious ('I come from a broken home...')a lot of the jokes and effects made me cringe. The scene where the train porter gets his head blown off had me rewinding to see if my eyes had not deceived me. That has to be the worst special effect for many years! I also found the very obvious pitching of the film to the American audience patronising in the extreme. Tourist shots of London, Highland Games, stately homes, stuffy clubs, 'punk' taxi drivers and an unconvincing portrayal of the Queen - all this type of thing was being done far better and with greater irony by the Comic Strip team years before. So don't expect a great plot or gags but if you like Caine and Moore, it's worth watching - just.
Tramps Winner really has hit the jackpot with this Bullseye!The idea of pitting a good Moore & Caine against their evil counterparts can only be described as a stroke of genius. They act out both parts with the kind of style and charisma you would expect from these screen legends. They play off one another beautifully and you can't help being entertained.Surely this was the film that they were both destined to be in, for them this is what acting is all about.You have to credit Winner for the way in which he has drawn out such stirling performances from his two stars. They have not only cemented their megastar status here but have surely passed into the realm of screen legends. Class just oozes from their every pore.This must surely go down as Winners 'Piece De Resistance' this is top drawer directing and you know eeeeeeeet.If you haven't seen this film, make it top of your 'must see' list.Also why not get 'Parting Shots' starring Chris 'Monkey' Rea it's doomsick tribes.
