movie review - Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1998.02.01

Unfortunately amateur film-making. The premise is that the gangster loses the duffle-bag full of heads he's due to deliver, so he looks for new heads which resemble those he's misplaced. It sounds a lot better than it was, by any stretch. I mean, this flick had George Hamilton!

Not recommended.
