I heard this was one of Sean Connery’s favorite roles. Outstanding acting of a lesser known classic.
One of the great, underrated gems of the 70s
A rollicking adventure made when larger than life meant the characters and actors, not f/x and dolby.
An absolutely great adventure classic. Great story, great acting, especially from the iconic main cast and a thrill of a ride all the way!
A fantastic, engrossing, wonderfully directed, acted, and shot film about man’s lust for power and excitement.
Sean Connery and Michael Caine are a delight. A movie that doesn’t get anywhere near enough love and recognition that it deserves.
A tragically funny classic worth watching.
"Great movie and great action starring two of the greats in Connery and Caine as two British adventures in India good old film"
Exciting adventure movie. Connery and Caine dynamic is good.
With an excellent cast, the movie wonderfully takes you through an environment like no other an helps portray the consequences of greed.
