Viewing Notes

My final film of May: another expiring title on Instawatch and one that features an entire cast of good character actors of that time. Interesting premise but no so interesting execution. Of course this isn’t an original idea and one that’s been done several times since but still watchable. Plus Robert Vaughn!
