One of several Italian "costumed super-criminal" outings made in the mid-1960s (for a brief period, I think it was the third most popular film genre, after spy movies and spaghetti Westerns), "Kriminal" has good production values but a rather bland look - there is nothing distinctive about it, except maybe the title character's skeleton costume, which he wears very briefly. Kriminal may be good with his fists, a master of disguise, and a clever criminal planner, but he doesn't have much charisma or personality, except maybe for an obnoxious arrogance. The women are pretty but dreadfully underused. The film gets dull more often than it should. ** out of 4.
