Any Which Way You Can

a review by r96sk

'Any Which Way You Can' is woeful.

It would be quicker to note what I liked about this - nothing - than to note the negatives. It's such a haphazardly created film, with every detail of it being either nonsensical, extremely forced or just dull. It's such a drag also, I checked the elapsed time at one point expecting to see at least 1hr 15mins... I had seen barely 40 minutes.

Clint Eastwood tries his best, I guess, and is one of the brighter parts, everyone else is very forgettable - including Sondra Locke's Lynn, who is all of a sudden the opposite to what they set up in the original. Then you also have the dodginess of stuff offscreen with the orangutans.

To think, this beat a Warner Bros. box office single day record set by 'Superman'. 1980 - you poor, poor souls.
