Shatter (1974)

Shatter (1974, GBR/HGK) C-90m. M D: Monte Hellman, Michael Carreras. Starring Stuart Whitman, Ti Lung, Li Li-Li, Peter Cushing, Anton Diffring, Lo Wei. Godawful thriller set in Hong Kong, about international assassin Whitman, who kills an important African politician and finds himself double-crossed by those that hired him. Hong Kong itself is a dangerous place for a hitman. Talky, leaden film whose troubled production really shows. Director Hellman was replaced by producer Carreras. The second and last Hong Kong venture of Hammer Films. Cushing's role is merely an artificial cameo. The Italians made these kinds of films in the mid-1960s! Alternative title: CALL HIM MR. SHATTER.
