One night , a year or so ago, I caught most of a movie on TV,
whose title I've forgotten.It wasn't a bad flick - starred
Dennis Hopper as a red-haired "skell"
(thank you, NYPD Blue) & Viggo Mortensen as his
partner.(Check Vig out in "The Indian Runner" - he & the
lead actor, name escapes me, put in brilliant performances -
you forget how long & slow the movie is).A little later I
read a book by Gerald Petievich, "The Money Men". Very
quickly I recognised it as being the basis of this same
movie. As I recall , the movie is so close to the book that
as I was reading it my mind replayed the movie.(IIRC movie
had different title to book).On the topic of Petievich - I
strongly recommend his "Earth Angels" which is about LA's
infamous CRASH anti-gang unit.I think it'll eventually be
seen as a classic. Rene.
