Cabo Blanco

An expat American in a Peruvian coastal town deals with a string of murders, a crooked local cop, and an escaped Nazi leader.Yes, it's a sort of copy of Casablanca. Bronson plays the American, who is on the lam from the law in the US; Dominique Sanda is a French woman looking for the cause of the death of a diver (ruled an accidental drowning by the police); Jason Robards is convincingly evil as the fugitive Nazi; Fernando Rey is the cop who is in cahoots with the Nazi; and the supporting cast is good.

Interesting Bronson movie. He showed here that he still could play a romantic lead in his late 50's. Amazingly, due to what someone told me were problems at Columbia, this film hardly got a release. I remember waiting in 1980 for it to come to a theater near you, and it never came. Only some 6 years later did the film come out. A little ridiculous at times, especially the \the climax at the end. But the film does have irony in the end. Also the music from 'The VERY Thought of You plays to much. the difficulties that the film had in getting released may also be attributed to Bronson's declining star power at the time, which I think would come somewhat back in the 80's with his Cannon years, though many of them were really inferior films. He would do a lot of films with J Lee Thompson, but this would I feel be the best. Interesting to note, that there were many scenes cut from this movie, and it seems that those scenes which were shown in some countries might be lost. Perhaps another reissue with those scenes intact would be interesting, or even stills.

You don't watch Bronson for depth of acting, you watch his persona deal with difficult situations with action. This one takes a few aspects from Casablanca--but only peripherally. One of several films he made with director J. Lee Thompson. Probably only for Bronson fans, although there is a good cast--including Jason Robards, Fernando Rey (Charnier from French Connection I & II) and Gilbert Roland.

Caboblanco is a typical example of one of Bronson's European movies of the late 70' and early 80's. Always taciturn and rugged, Bronson rose to fame by virtue of his muscular build and screen presence. This movie is slow paced and doesn't have much to recommend it. Bronson was capable of better work, when he had a good script and better material, but in this one he's sleepwalking through the role. If you're looking for vintage Bronson, try Hard Times or Death Wish.

Great actor.

A lazy laid back murder mystery involving Nazis in South America, with Bronson doing his best acting. Dominique Sanda is nice but too tight lipped for me. Jason Robards is pretty good, but the great American, Bronson, steals the movie because he doesn't take it seriously.

Slow and boring although it has nice scenery. What could have been a great adventure is ruined by a production that fell apart during filming. Read the book "bronson's loose again" by paul talbot for the whole story behind it. The one good thing is the kino lober dvd has a ton of extras.

This review is for the BLU-RAY edition of CABOBLANCO. Well Kino helped us poor people out by cutting out scenes that would warp our feeble brains. There are a fews scenes of extreme violence that we must be protected against, so Kino did just that. Kino cut them out and charged me around $20.00 to buy the BLU-RAY. Thank you Kino. Appreciate that. To see those scenes get the DELTA edition of CABOBLANCO in DVD. Thank you Kino, I needed protection. And do not forget to mention your truncation efforts in your other advertising of your other products.

Fast delivery, one of Bronson's films I have not seen before.Nice to see these old films.

Not bad.

Delivered in the time scale, but, unfortunately the DVD is not the best quality

This is the second time I have bought a CHARLES BRONSON blu-ray disc from Amazon and found it to be a DUD. The first was a few weeks ago when BREAKHEART PASS. This disc stated it would ONLY play in the Americas. So, I managed to return it and get my money refunded. This time, I bought the b/r disc "Cabo Blanco" This also, will not play and has a similar statement. Both were bought through Amazon. I own TWO multi region players; The first one would not play on either....and neither will this disc. Amazon is committing an act of fraud in selling these discs that cannot be played in Australia. I find it impossible to comprehend the nonsense method of returning the move for my refund. Amazon needs to get on the ball and stop selling rubbish movies that don't work. THIS ITEM WAS RETURNED TO YOU ON 17/11/20 FOR A REFUND.

Ayant commander ce film je suis très déçu de celui-ci en effet j'ai reçu la version catalane le descriptif du film n'est pas assez explicite même en me renseignant auprès du site Wikipédia en tout cas je ne le recommanderai aux membres d'Amazon
