STATELINE MOTEL

Cinemavixion Review

Maurizio Lucidi's 1973 crime drama, "Stateline Motel," offers a taut narrative centered on a post-heist rendezvous gone awry. The plot follows two American jewel thieves who plan to meet near the Canadian border to divide their spoils. When one of them, played by Martin Baden (though the external data lists Eli Wallach, Ursula Andress, and Fabio Testi), experiences car trouble, he finds himself stranded at an isolated motel. There, he becomes entangled with the motel's alluring owner, whose growing suspicions about her guest are soon validated by the arrival of the police. The film, a co-production between Italy and Canada, explores themes of mistrust and escalating tension. While the local data's cast and director information differs from the external data, the core plot and title strongly suggest they refer to the same film, likely with discrepancies in the YouTube data's metadata. The IMDb rating of 5.4/10 indicates a moderately received thriller that may appeal to fans of suspenseful crime stories.
