Attack of the Robots (1966) watch online

Attack of the Robots (Spanish: Cartas boca arriba, lit. 'Cards Face Up') is a 1966 spy film directed by Jesús Franco and starring Eddie Constantine, Françoise Brion, Fernando Rey and Sophie Hardy. Constantine plays Al Pereira, a spy brought out of retirement to investigate a series of murders conducted by a robot-like army of people with black-framed glasses and strange darkened skin.

The film was a co-production between the Madrid-based Hesperia Film and the Paris-based Cine Alliance and Spéva Films, the same group that had previously financed The Diabolical Dr. Z (1966). Franco signed on to the project after it had already been sold throughout the world as a project starring Constantine in a spy-oriented narrative. Written by Jean-Claude Carrière, it would be the last of his collaborations with Franco. The two decided to play on the perceived notion of Constantine's film persona, making his character a more clumsy spy.

The film was released in France and Spain in 1966. The film debuting at ninth spot in Paris box office between April 27 to May 3 while film historians Francesco Cesari and Roberto Curti described the film as being a "good commercial success" in Spain. While reviews in Spanish newspapers ABC and El Mundo Deportivo gave generally positive reviews to the film, it was received poorly by the critics of Spanish film magazine Film Ideal and the French magazine Image et son .
