| 07.12.06 | Internet | An Eddie Binker story about a con who gets out, flirts with going straight, then starts hamburgling again... Awesome Dustin Hoffman performance, strong support from a bunch of cool people, and all with that nice and gritty long-lensed 70s feel. It's cool to look back and see Hoffman's really great performances... especially when I think my first memory of him is as Tootsie... ahh the eighties... This is the skinniest I've seen Kathy Bates, the sanest I've seen Gary Busey, and the youngest I've ever seen Theresa Russell. WHOA. some serious heat there... good movie. solid. |
