One of my favorite films, an action pic with comedy and a heart. It was DeNiro's first attempt at comedy and he is terrific. Unfortunately, in his subsequent comic ventures he's hamming it up and trying too hard. Charles Grodin is magnificent, particularly for a guy whose face is immobile except for his eyes. One of the best supporting casts ever: John Ashton, Yaphet Kotto, Dennis Farina, Joe Pantoliano, and Philip Baker Hall (aka Bookman on Seinfeld).
What prompted this was reading Hannah Long's appreciation of the movie,
And you'll learn about the Litmus Configuration!
