No Way To Treat a Lady is a 1968 film about a serial killer who strikes up a unusual friendship with the homicide detective investigating him. Rod
Steiger plays the disguise loving strangler & ramps his performance up to stratospheric levels of
hammyness while George
Segal smirks & eye rolls his way through his scenes with his overbearing Jewish mother and his new love interest/soon-to-be strangler fodder played by the beautiful Lee
Remick. The somewhat awkward melange of violence and domestic comedy leads to a very odd atmosphere and despite a few nice scenes I wouldn't class the film as a success, especially with it's botched ending.
hohum.
Not really sure what
Operation Endgame was meant to be - a comedy? action thriller? well it was none of those and it's one of the weakest films I've seen in ages. Anyways a bunker full of odd secret agents is sealed off and they start killing each other for no apparent reason. It's got a decent cast including
Galifianakis,
Corddry,
Rhames,
Barkin &
Tambor but the scripting & plot well, just plain awful, you hear about films that are so bad, so car crash fascinating they're hard to turn off but until now I'd never seen one.
