Audience Reviews for The Villain

  • Feb 26, 2015
    Pretty stupid but I guess I got a couple chuckles.
    Dannielle A Super Reviewer

    It's as silly as they come, this effort by Hal Needham, and you'll wonder what inducement served to bring Kirk Douglas and Ann Margret onboard this kiddie humor smorgasbord. Douglas spends most the film talking to his horse. .. and the horse gets all of the best lines. The plot? A lot of money is traveling cross country. Get the money. That's it. There's a snicker or two but ultimately it's a film that makes you mad cause it's so dumb.

    Oh my god why didnt he have that dress off sooner. Good to see the mighty Douglas dumbing down to some slap stick here. Great film.

    This is supposed to be like a live-action Road Runner cartoon as Kirk Douglas' character is a version of Wile E. Coyote. Good funny comedy-western that brings good laughs.
