    Very good movie. Always like anything with Burt Reynolds.

    A good movie. Not the far out computer driven stuff we see today.

    A good movie that could have been a great movie if Burt Reynolds was a stronger actor. Dark, bitter noir, about cop in love with high priced call girl. Reynolds is sucked against his will into the case of murdered wild teenage girl. Some amazing scenes, and a powerful if obvious last twist. But, to me, Burt can’t sell the complexity of the man.

    Yes   |   No
