Viewing Notes
Probably one of the most un-De Palma-like movies De Palma made. A lot of his signature stylings weren’t here and the casting of Douglas seemed like a misstep. He felt really out of place. But exploding Cassavetes was totally worth the revisit! It was also fun to see Daryl Hannah and Dennis Franz show up in minor roles.
