5/10
It has a fantastic idea and good leads--but that's it...
30 July 2006
In the 21st Century, a game of humans-hunting-humans provides the outlet for bloodlust and vicarious entertainment that our population is craving. Here's a concept that needs a great deal of style and wit to come off successfully, but the dubbed, Italian-made "The 10th Victim" has very little of either. Ursula Andress seduces Marcello Mastroianni, but she's really just setting him up to be killed, with some campy lines between the two: as Marcello attempts to make love to the curvy Ursula, she barks, "Don't bother--I am an iceberg!" The subplot about Marcello's disgruntled ex-wives is silly and the bit about the sun-worshipers fighting with the moon-worshipers doesn't come off because of the static handling. Overall, an interesting attempt but a failed execution. ** from ****
