I don't know much about Yul Brynner ("The King and I" and "Taras Bulba" and all that). Because of his shaved head, he used to get a lot of notoriety. Today, everyone has a shaved head. He did have that deep voice and piercing eyes. He's a very good actor and a pretty masculine presence. This movie is so easy to figure out and so dull, that he's not given much to do. He, of course, is trying to avenge the death of his brother, during some race track intrigue with people shooting trotters and pushing them off their game. It's like thousands of other films. We wait for the showdown, we have a minor character who must become a man and show his stuff. It's not that it's a terrible movie. It just seems slow moving and ordinary.
score 4/10
