Review – Scorpio

This spy movie is so generic I almost expected the poster to say “Always Save” at the top. The CIA hires a French assassin (Alain Delon) to kill one of his former associates (Burt Lancaster), a rogue operative who may or may not be trying to defect. At first Lancaster’s character tries to play nice with his ex-employers, but the nastier the Company gets the nastier he gets in return. The picture has a few good sequences, but for the most part following the plot requires more attention than it merits. Mildly amusing
