Not the greatest Bronson movie but amusing.......2007-01-26

This is not the greatest Bronson movie ever made but it is nonetheless entertaining. It does have one spectacular car chase or rather motorcycle pursuit on winding roads of south of France. There are some nice perforamnces and it's fun to see James Mason play a villain although he's a likable one. Liv Ullman is fine and Jill Ireland plays a hilarious rich hippie chick.
There are the usual plot absurdities but Bronson is the reason we watch these movies and he's no different here. He's a very likeable tough guy trying very hard to be nice around bunch of incorrigable villains.
The main concern here though is the resolution quality. It looks like they transfered a video quality image. On a high def flat panel it looks aweful, but you can still enjoy the film. I wish they would remaster but I guess that's why the price is cheap. If image quality and DVD presentation are important then this should really get a 2 star rating.

bronson 3pack dvd.......2005-08-16

well, one can obviously not expect very much given the price paid for this dvd but at least cold sweat appears in widescreen format and has somewhat of a better picture quality than a previously owned dvd of mine. but unfortunately the other 2 movies are quite poor in picture and sound quality. the previous viewer pretty much described the movies' contents. hopefully, in the future, some other earlier titles of bronson will be available specifically riders on the rain.

Not a bad Bronson film.......2002-03-20

I liked the film and luckily I was able to get a pretty decent DVD copy from Amazon. To me Bronson dominates the screen in this film, he even outshines James Mason who is one of the most respected actors. This is one of the films Bronson made when he first went to work in Europe. Most of his films up to the late sixties he was always a supporting actor or an anchor as he himself called it. But if you like to watch Bronson on the screen you should check it out along with "Violent City". In Cold Sweat the plot is much easier to follow. The European films were where Bronson started to become a worldwide star and finally get the star billing he worked long and hard to achieve.

Must-not see.......2004-06-20

If you rent (or even worse, buy) this video, you will regret it. I know I did.
Acting is terrible and the version I bought (argh!) had a horrible transfer, both visually and audibly.
That's what I get for not reading reviews first...

Very bad reproduction on DVD.......1999-11-27

This DVD has a very bad image and sound. Altought it is a good movie, I don't recomend it if you are looking for a Charles Bronson movie for your collection due to its bad reproduction. No menu, no subtitles, no chapter selection. I wished I did not buy it.

AVERAGE BRONSON FLICK.......2004-10-09

AN EX-CON [CHARLES BRONSON] IS CONFRONTED BY HIS FORMER PARTNERS IN CRIME. WHEN THEY KIDNAP HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER, HE MUST DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO BRING THEM BACK ALIVE. JUST ANOTHER CHARLES BRONSON MOVIE. DUE TO THE POOR PACING AND THE PREDICTABLE PLOT, IT FAILS TO MAINTAIN MY INTEREST AFTER A WHILE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SOLID, ACTION-PACKED MOVIE, YOU WON'T FIND IT HERE. THERE IS A GOOD CAR CHASE NEAR THE END. UNLESS YOU'RE A DIE-HARD CHARLES BRONSON FAN, DON'T EVEN BOTHER BUYING THIS ONE. JUST RENT IT INSTEAD IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SEEING IT. BASED ON A NOVEL, ENTITLED ''RIDE THE NIGHTMARE''.

Great Movie, Horrible DVD.......2003-07-28

I really liked this movie, I like Charles Bronson a lot. This is the worst DVD though. The colors change in the middle of a scene, one second the colors are fine and then they suddenly change and everything will have a bluish tint, the colors change several times during the movie. Try to find a copy by anyone except Direct Source.

Great movie, Horrible DVD.......2003-05-23

I like Charles Bronson movies a lot, but this is the worst copy of a DVD I have ever purchased. The movie is very good, but the copy is awful. I have seen better on TV and videotape. There are places where the colors change within the same sceen, one minute the colors are ok and the next everything has a green tint to it, then the next minute everything will have a blue tint to it. The whole movie isn't like that, but none of it should be. Have you ever been to a theater and it looks like the movie has scratches and lint all over it, well this DVD looks just like that. There is even one spot where one of the bads guys suddenly changes the way he is looking without moving his head, just suddenly he is looking up instead of straignt ahead. This is the worst copy of a movie I have ever seen on DVD and I will never buy another DVD put out by Direct Source Special Products, Inc. The only place it says Direct Source is on the back of the DVD case, everyone of their DVD's that I have seen has a oval with a star that has a movie camera on top of it and has the works Critic Picks on either side of it, stay away from their DVD's.

outstanding action by the great Bronson.......2003-03-16

i loved this DVD. James Mason does an outstanding job...one can't tell it's him until you look closely and see his cheek bones beneath the beard. Charles is at his usual best. the story revolves around a group of people who know Bronson's character (Joe). it seems that Joe had once been the driver for this group of militants but bailed out at the last minute and escaped while the rest of the men were hauled off to prison. Joe had since moved to another country and married a British woman (his wife, Jill Ireland) but seven years later, the gang has traced Joe's whereabouts and they're out for revenge! Bronson's great acting combined with his trademark grin while he makes one insult after the other to Mason and his crew are not to be missed. also not to be missed is the car chases through the mountains at top speed. the DVD i have shows the 1980's Bronson on the cover with the graying hair at the sides but the film actually came out in 1971. this is a great film and one of James Mason's most under-rated.
