It stars Gene Hackman, Paul Newman and Susan Sarandon. James
Garner also has
a featured role. Newman is an ex-cop (he mentions at least 3
times that
after the force "he really hit the sauce") living with
Sarandon and Hackman
(a married couple). Garner takes the role of a friend and
also former cop.
It is noirish, or meant to be. I didn't enjoy it and I do not
recommend it.
Too many throwaway lines, unnecessary characters, plods
along. Garner was
very good. The others were fine. The script stunk. I think
they must have
run out of money midway and the investor they found insisted
on having his
way with the film. A disappointment.
