DAY 20:
Un animale chiamato uomo (1972) - Director: Roberto Mauri - 2/10
Another day, another subpar Trinity rip-off. This is a supremely sleep-inducing experience by virtue of its incredibly derivative, lame script which does not go anywhere and hinges on pre-Trinity clichés just as much as on post-Trinity tropes. Hence, apart from furnishing an unsalutary amount of fisticuffs, it introduces the story revolving around the corrupt, peremptory land owner, some top banana or whatever, played by Craig Hill; the central duo set out to liberate the town from the tight grip of his power.
Needless to say, none of this is remarkable in any way, shape or form and to add insult to injury, there is a lot of back and forth between Foster and the tramp buddies as to the details of their alleged compact or whatever that was all about, I could not care less frankly. This is a completely featureless muck of a motion picture with as much excitement and elan as you would expect from Mauri’s work. There is barely any structure to maintain the whole sorry business with most of the events, which are to form the so-called storyline, being haphazardly stitched together in the most dilatory and uninspired fashion possible; not hard to see why Craig Hill resolved to walk off the set.
