Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One evening,while channel surfing, my friend and I came upon this film on TV. In its own way, it was more astonishing than anything by Kurosawa, David Fincher or Takeshi Kitano. We simply couldn't believe what we were watching. We sat there as dumbstruck and as open mouthed as if we were watching Elvis doing his shopping in the local Sainsburys store. How could any film be such a complete failure? Even awful films usually have some saving grace, some ray of light, that stops your viewing being a completely worthless experience - one good performance or one funny line or even just some good scenery. 'Bullseye!', however, exists entirely in a vacuum; in a cinematic black hole. The script: No good. The acting: No good. The direction: No good. The editing: No good. Even the music: No good. Yet, later, I realised that the ray of light that I'd been looking for was actually in the fact that the film was such a total, glorious misfire and, if one watches it from that perspective, it's a wonderful film. The next time it came on TV I made sure to tape it and every so often I watch it again, in awe at its uselessness. It's nothing against Michael Winner personally. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke but, as a film maker, he makes a magnificent restaurant critic.

I think I laughed once at this film, watched it when I was ten or eleven, because it has a scene where one dog humps another.Other than that, I'd rather stab my eyes out with a biro than be forced to sit through it again. Go watch Monty Python instead, hell, even Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is better than this.

Winner really has hit the jackpot with this Bullseye!The idea of pitting a good Moore & Caine against their evil counterparts can only be described as a stroke of genius. They act out both parts with the kind of style and charisma you would expect from these screen legends. They play off one another beautifully and you can't help being entertained.Surely this was the film that they were both destined to be in, for them this is what acting is all about.You have to credit Winner for the way in which he has drawn out such stirling performances from his two stars. They have not only cemented their megastar status here but have surely passed into the realm of screen legends. Class just oozes from their every pore.This must surely go down as Winners 'Piece De Resistance' this is top drawer directing and you know eeeeeeeet.If you haven't seen this film, make it top of your 'must see' list.Also why not get 'Parting Shots' starring Chris 'Monkey' Rea it's doomsick tribes.

This film is a real mess and that is especially disappointing considering that Moore and Caine work well together and the opening 25 minutes of the film are mildly entertaining.The basic premise of the film is that Caine and Moore both play dual roles, firstly as an evil pairing (scientists) and as a good pairing (con-men). It's a silly premise but it works well on its own terms at first but once the evil pair are aware of what the good pair is doing, the film disintegrates. The plot becomes more and more convoluted and incomprehensible as the film goes along and therefore all the potential entertainment is extinguished. Caine and Moore aren't to blame for the film's failure as they both give good performances; the fault lies with director Michael Winner.Even the cameo by John Cleese at the end is muffed.
