I almost enjoyed 'Scandalous John', but that's only down to the ending - the rest is average, at best.
I like the idea of having Brian Keith and Alfonso Arau as a duo, but Keith acts over the top too many times and his character isn't the most likeable - while Arau's role falls into periods of nothingness here and there. I will say that I actually did like the ending, which went a way I wasn't expecting and surprisingly added a bit of heart to proceedings.
The aforementioned, unfortunately, wasn't enough to raise it higher in my thoughts. 3*.
