Viewing Notes

Not sure I’ve ever seen this beyond its opening weekend when I lived in Kenosha. It’s not v good but watchable for the cast. Plus a deep bench of character actors. The story is so hokey and every action beat over the top. This movie really had no business being this long nor does it earn its runtime. I’m just happy that there wasn’t a romantic angle crammed into this already overstuffed screenplay. At least James Caan seemed to have fun. 

RIP James Caan
