Review title: Going through the Motions
Product review: Pairing screen legends Wayne and Bacall sounds like the recipe for a must-see movie, but this adventure film lacks gusto and merely plods along amiably and predictably. Other reviewers have pointed out plot problems, and between the by-the-numbers screenplay and William Wellman's competent but mostly unimaginative direction, there's little tension, no strong characters, and no memorable dialogue. Thank goodness the two stars had their innate screen presence to help keep this film from sinking outright; that said, there's no chemistry between Wayne and Bacall. For that matter, Bacall is woefully underutilized here. Other problems: Westerners cast in Chinese roles and lame attempts at Pidgin Chinese humor. Some decent production design, albeit rather too studio-bound.Wayne, Bacall, and Wellman all did much better work.
