Death Hunt

Actors:  Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Andrew Stevens, Angie Dickinson
Rating:  7 out of 10, another movie from my distant past that hasn’t aged as well as others.  Bronson, one of the original monosyllabic heroes, a poor man’s Clint Eastwood, and his Dirty Dozen buddy Lee Marvin are too old to be chasing each other around the Canadian Rockies.  They both spend a lot of movie realistically out of breath. It’s also unexplained how Apollo Creed ended up in the great white north serving as machine gun fodder.  All that being said the scenes where either Bronson or Marvin are on the screen are worth the watch, the rest of the cast, not so much.
MVP:  Marvin as the world weary Mountie – Millen, could still dominate the screen
