Parting Shots Distinctly old-fashioned revenge comedy about a photographer with - haha! - terminal cancer

Plot A photographer given six weeks to live decides to embark on a killing spree murdering all those who have wronged him. Verdict That Parting Shots ultimately insults people living with cancer is the subtlest of its crimes. It is simply an irrelevance, locked in a 1970s timewarp of sports cars, Oliver Reed and country pubs, when comedies ended, as this one does, with the stars laughing heartily. They are very much alone.
