Review

solid flick all around, but not on the same level as cool hand luke or butch cassidy and the sundance kid. newman turns in a good performance – you can see the him change from lifeless to lively as the film progresses and this is probably the best aspect of the film. it’s an early mamet script and lumet does a good job with direction.
