A famous misfire. But clearly made by someone with talent.
Mick Jagger is simply miscast. He doesn't have "it". Imagine original choice Albert Finney. Or just an actor.
Waylon Jennings' music score is a stunning misjudgement. Shocking. If they couldn't go Aussie at least go Irish or British.
It starts well. Kelly being hung. The locations are beautiful. The costumes.
It never comes to life. There's a lot of brogues. Kelly doesn't seem to have a relationship with anyone that develops. His mother yells. He has a sister. I couldn't tell his gang apart. Or what was going on.
It's not without interest. I just wish Karel Reisz had made it with Albert Finney.
