70s crime film with a solid dramatic core. Hoffman directed and starred in this archetypical 70s film, it's no surprise then that my reception was only lukewarm. Hoffman has the chops to pull off the drama, but the direction was rather dull and the crime elements were simply not good enough. Mercer easily outshines Hoffman though, sadly her part is relatively small. The runtime's a bit excessive, the finale underperforms and Hoffman's character is rather predictable, but it's still a step up from some similar films made around that time. Fans of 70s cinema will probably have a good time with it though. Read all
