Harry's War PG
This is one of the worst movies ever
made. Keith Merrill's bleak story of a man fighting the IRS is just awful,
truly dreadful, and the ending, one of the single stupidest endings ever. The
premise is that his relative has wartime tanks and guns and things lying
around, and that he can use them to fight the system, only to have the system
fight back with reckless and often insane abandon, to eventually defeat him
utterly and violently. This is such a poorly orchestrated ‘farce’ that it is
almost a horror movie, and not a good one. It almost makes The War of the Roses look charming. If the director is trying to do
a satire, why not let him win? It’s only a movie. It isn’t like any of this
drivel is reality in any context. Actually for a review, it is possible this
can get negative scores, because it was so awful and terrible. The IRS needs to
be made fun of in a movie, but to end it like this one did makes the viewer
want to crawl into a corner and suffer alone for years. Yetch! Review by Adam Browne
