Featured review
Out of Cuba
**SPOILERS** One of Roger Corman's early work in the field of international and political intrigue. The movie takes place in early 1959 in Cuba that has just been overrun by Castro's revolutionary troops with the remnant's of the ousted Batista Regime running for their lives to avoid a Cuban revolutionary firing squad.
With the Castro forces bearing down on him loyalest Cuban General Tosdada attempts together with a squad of loyalist troops to leave the island with what's left of the Cuban Treasury that amounts to a foot-locker of gold bullion. With only Mafia boss Renzo Capetto being able to get Gen. Tosdada off the island with his yacht it soon becomes evident that Renzo is far more interested in the gold Tosada has with him then in the safety of him and his troops.
Together with his two henchmen Happy Jack Monahan and the somewhat mentally retarded Pete Peterson Renzo attempts to fool Tosdada into thinking that the waters off Cuba is the home of this horrible sea creature who's out to get him and his boys on board Renzo's yacht. There's also a side story in the film involving CIA undercover agent Agent XK150 code name Sparks Moran who infiltrated Renzo's gang in order to get enough evidence on him to have him put away for among other things tax evasion. Agent XK150 soon falls heads over heels in love with Renzo's girlfriend, and Happy Jack's sister, Mary-Belle Monahan who despite Agent XK150 swearing his eternal love for her can't stand the very sight of him!
The film really picks up when the sea creature makes his grand appearance with him offing the Cuban troops without Renzo & Co really knowing that he's doing it. The creature looking like he's outfitted with a bunch of garbage bags tied together with strings of seaweed and two eyes looking like fried eggs is about the best thing in the film. It, the sea creature, even rivals the beautiful Mango Happy Jack's island girlfriend who in fact ends up getting eaten by it in the films closing minutes.
**SPOILERS** The films ends with all the bad guys as well as Cubans getting offed by the sea creature with Agent XK150 making it to the safety on a deserted Caribbean island with his new love, with Mary-Belle ending up as the creatures lunch, Senorita Rodriguez to live happily ever after. This is a big jump for Agent XK150 in now living with the senorita rent free and with an unlimited supply of coconuts and banana, that's both healthy and nonfattening,for the rest of their lives. That's far better for Agent XK150 then the meager, even by 1960 standards, $41.00 a week that the US Government is paying him. As for the sea creature he's back home under the waves of the Caribbean Sea with the remains of the Cuban Treasury that he, only consisting on fish & seaweed, has no idea what to do with!
