MICHAEL WINNER DIRECTS MICHAEL CAINE IN 'BULLSEYE!'

6/28/2022 | No comment

Title: BULLSEYE Cast: Michael Caine, Roger Moore Year: 1990 Rating: **

By 1990 how the 1970's mighty-British had fallen, three-fold, as Michael Winner directs Michael Caine and Roger Moore in the buddy con-comedy BULLSEYE!, more confusing than unfunny, and extremely farfetched as Caine (collecting a paycheck) and Moore (constantly widening his eyes) just happen to be dead-ringers for two scientists that are also a team-up, and even more crooked...

Providing Caine a chance to reprise his popular DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS con-artist cadence but in more of the Steve Martin goofball role, and failing, getting no help from Sally Kirkland as the straight-man-lady partner gluing both together, along with Moore's real life daughter as a CIA Agent in what's more a collection of silly scenes than one collective spy spoof, which is hardly even attempted here in the first, second, or third place.
