Blu-ray Review – Harlequin

Ozploitation takes a serious turn in "Harlequin," a bizarre mystery film
that employs the art of magic to help secure its illusory intentions.
The picture doesn't quite add up as a cohesive exercise in cinematic
misdirection, but its working parts are fascinating, especially when
director Simon Wincer and screenwriter Everette De Roche play into the
fantastical, making a logical breakdown of the feature's enigmas
impossible. It can be a frustrating movie with a foggy sense of purpose,
yet performances, especially Robert Powell in the lead role, are
greatly amusing, with a few hypnotic qualities, and the story's ambition
to blend political intrigue with historical influence, enough to save
"Harlequin" from itself. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
