Parting Shots

I thought this film was a good laugh and I love British Comedy as opposed to American movies as the humor is different. This film is about a man who finds out that he has only six weeks to live... Full review

This really is quite an entertaining romp. The cast is 'all-star' from a British perspective and generally put to good use. It's not laugh out loud funny but it is fun. The general idea of bumping off those who've upset... Full review

Not perfect and - yes - Chris Rea is too bland and monotone but this is a highly entertaining film. Harry - told by his doctor that he's got terminal stomach cancer, goes out on a murdering spree. (People who... Full review

This movie was horrible. Sure there are worse films but no film in recent history has wasted a better cast than this and that is why I rate it so low. Cleese, Kingsley, Lumley,Hoskins and frickin Oliver Reed! plus Diana... Full review

Michael Winner's Parting Shots is a quite appalling, unfunny 'comedy' with the worst acting performance that you are ever likely to see. For those who think Keanu Reeves is wooden, have a look at this and see what you think... Full review

I saw this movie and there were 4 people in the audience when the film started. And the end there were two - me and some other poor soul who I just hope had fallen asleep. This is the type... Full review

There's a very good reason why Michael Winner's Parting Shots is perched at the top of my list of worst films ever made. Well, there are MANY very good reasons (I'll list them for anyone who asks), but above all the film's extreme technical indelicacies is its purely, deeply, truly, madly offensive right-wing proposition that the actions of a murderous vigilante (in this case a photographer diagnosed with cancer who decides to kill everyone he blames for screwing up his life - played by, *cough*, Chris Rea ...

This is film-making at its cheapest, at its nastiest, and at its most self-indulgent. Rea lollops about the place like an abused beagle, not even trying to act, offering the audience a choice between two facial expressions: rueful and bored. ... Full Review
